Storage
Refrigerator: Store any leftover Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
It will keep well for up to 3-5 days. Before serving, give it a good stir, as it may thicken slightly when chilled.
Freezer: You can also freeze the dip for longer storage. Place it in a freezer-safe container, leaving some space for expansion.
It can be frozen for up to 2 months. To use, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and stir well before serving.
Reheating: If the dip has thickened after being refrigerated, you can gently reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk or cream to restore its creamy consistency.
With these variations and storage tips, you can enjoy this delicious dip in multiple ways and keep it fresh for your next snacking occasion!
