I’m sure all you parents out there can relate to this, but you really understand the saying ‘silence is golden’ once you have kids.
For us, we spend most of the day in screaming mayhem while trying to create recipes and work on LCA, so the only time we actually can hear the thoughts in our head is after the kids go to sleep, which we call our golden time! And what do we do during this golden time?
We enjoy low-carb/keto snacks of course! Usually, we happen to have some of our Sour Cream and Onion Crackdip in the fridge, but on this day we were out. So instead, we decided to just whip up a quick Cream Cheese Garlic Dip w/Furikaketo enjoy with our low-carb tortilla chips.
After a couple of minutes with the hand mixer, we tasted our ‘impulse’ creation and to our surprise and delight, it was really good!! So good actually that we felt compelled to share this super easy and delicious dip with all of our visitors!
This is a perfect and simple dip to enjoy during a party, sports game or if you’re like us, during your golden hour! Hope you enjoy it!
This dip is low-carb/keto friendly with ~5g of carbs for the entire batch! Since this is a dip though, the serving sizes will vary on the individual.
The texture on this dip is creamy and dense, with hints of garlic and sweet and savory of the Furikake mixed in. For those not familiar with Furikake, it’s just a Japanese seasoning that’s traditional sprinkled on rice and vegetables.
The special ingredient needed for this recipe is only Furikake, which can be picked up on Amazon or a local Asian Supermarket. You will also need a hand/stand mixer to mix the cream cheese.
Now, let’s get started!
Prepping Time 5M
Total Time 5M
Net Carb/Serv ~5g
Servings 4-6 (about 1.5 cups of dip)
Ingredients
Dip
- 8oz Cream Cheese
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 tbsp Furikake
Dip Pairings
- 1 Cup Unflavored Pork Rinds (optional)
- 2 Pieces of Low Carb Tortillas (optional)
- 2-4 Pieces each of Celery, Broccoli, and Cucumber (optional)
Directions
1) Gather all the ingredients.
2) If you are pairing this dip with the baked Low Carb Tortillas chips, preheat oven to 400 F. If not, skip to step 6).
3) Cut both tortillas into 8 wedges giving you 16 triangle chips.
4) Lay tortillas evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet or silicone baking mat as pictured and generously spray over tortillas with cooking oil of your choice. Alternatively you can brush them with melted butter.
5) Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes until golden brown. If tortillas do not crisp, continue baking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6) Grate garlic with a grater or a garlic press and place into a mixing bowl. Note – it is very important to grate or press and NOT mince garlic here. Mincing doesn’t express the garlic oil enough, which is where the majority of garlic flavor comes from.
7) In the mixing bowl, add block of cream cheese and Furikake. Using a hand/stand mixer, mix for about 1 minute until the cream cheese is broken down into a dip like texture.
8) Transfer to serving bowl and serve with choice of baked Low Carb Tortillas chips, Unflavored Pork Rinds, or mix of celery, broccoli, and cucumbers.
