Recipe Notes
COOK'S TIPS:
list of 4 items
• Make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature before you try to prepare this easy crab dip recipe. This will ensure that all of your ingredients
blend smoothly together.
• To quickly bring cream cheese to room temperature, you can:

• Remove cream cheese from packaging, cut it into small cubes, and allow the cream cheese to sit out on a plate for 15-20 minutes; OR
• Remove cream cheese from packaging and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave in 10-second increments, flipping the cream cheese over after each
10-minute segment, for a total of about 30 seconds (or until the cream cheese softens). Be careful that you don't completely melt the cream cheese!

• Use
an electric mixer
instead of a simple whisk. The electric mixer makes the base of the crab dip nice and smooth.
• Use high-quality crab meat. My mom always splurged on jumbo lump crab meat for holidays! Sometimes I'm not able to find the pricey jumbo lump crab meat
at my little rural grocery store, though. In that case, the refrigerated claw meat is a good substitute.
