Recommended Equipment

Instructions

  • Place a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl and drain the clams. Reserve the clam juice.
    1 (6.5-ounce) can minced clams
  • In another bowl, stir or beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the drained, minced clams and the lemon juice, along with the Worcestershire sauce. Add reserved clam juice a few teaspoons at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Add the onion and garlic powders, salt, and black and cayenne pepper or Tabasco, if using. Blend thoroughly.
    8 ounces cream cheese | 2 tsp fresh lemon juice | 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce | 1/4 tsp onion powder | 1/4 tsp garlic powder | 1/2 tsp salt | 1/8 tsp ground black pepper | 1 pinch cayenne pepper or a few drops of Tabasco Sauce (optional)
    • Make sure the cream cheese is fully at room temperature before mixing — cold cream cheese will leave lumps in the dip. For the smoothest result, beat it with a hand mixer before adding the other ingredients.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Transfer the clam dip to a bowl and surround it with crackers, chips, or vegetables for dipping.
