This Roasted Garlic and Prosciutto Cream Cheese Dip with Hot Honey is a savory and slightly sweet appetizer perfect for dipping. Creamy softened cream cheese and sour cream blend with roasted garlic, salty prosciutto, parmesan cheese, and oregano for a rich flavor profile. Baked until warm and topped with a sweet-spicy hot honey drizzle, it’s ideal for serving with gluten-free crostini, pretzels, crackers, or pita chips.

Ingredients

Scale

Dip

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz prosciutto (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Roasted Garlic

  • 2 large or 3 small heads garlic
  • Extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)

Hot Honey

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

For Dipping

  • Gluten free crostini, pretzels, crackers, or pita chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Roasted Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel off the outer papery layers of the garlic heads, leaving the skins on individual cloves intact. Slice off the top third of the garlic heads to expose the cloves inside.
  2. Drizzle and Wrap: Place the garlic heads on a piece of foil and generously drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the exposed cloves. Bring up the foil sides to cover the garlic and crimp the top tightly to trap steam.
  3. Roast Garlic: Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 35-45 minutes until the cloves are golden and soft. Allow to cool slightly.
  4. Extract Garlic: Squeeze the softened roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a large mixing bowl, discarding any burnt bits.
  5. Mix Dip Base: Add softened cream cheese and sour cream to the bowl with roasted garlic. Using a handheld mixer, beat until smooth and whipped, about 1 minute.
  6. Add Flavorings: Mix in chopped prosciutto, shredded parmesan, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir gently with a spatula to combine evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to meld flavors.
  7. Preheat Oven: When ready to serve, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Bake Dip: Transfer the dip mixture into a 9-inch pie plate or medium-sized baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes until warmed through.
  9. Prepare Hot Honey: While the dip is baking, combine honey, red chili flakes, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Microwave for 15 seconds and stir well.
  10. Serve: Drizzle the warm Hot Honey on top of the baked dip. Serve warm or at room temperature with gluten-free crostini, pretzels, crackers, or pita chips. Avoid serving piping hot to preserve balanced flavors.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Roasting garlic mellows its sharp flavor and adds sweetness.
  • You can adjust the amount of red chili flakes in the hot honey to suit your heat preference.
  • This dip tastes best after chilling to allow flavors to meld.
  • Serve with your choice of gluten-free or regular dippers depending on dietary needs.
  • Stir well before baking to ensure an even texture.
  • Use a small baking dish or pie plate for even warming in the oven.
  • Discard any overly browned garlic pieces to avoid bitterness.
