Notes
- Cream Cheese Consistency - Ensure that the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth and creamy texture in the dip.
- Adjusting Heat Level - Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spiciness of the dip. Add more for extra heat or reduce for a milder flavor, based on personal preference.
