Description

This bell pepper cheese dip is awesome! With the Thermomix® you can conjure up a creamy-spicy dip in no time that will simply knock everyone out. The combination of cream cheese, crème fraîche and grated cheese makes it incredibly creamy, while the colorful bell peppers and fresh spinach provide a great color and crunchy vitamins. A small clove of garlic and a pinch of Jalapeño give the whole thing the right kick - not too spicy, but with character. I love bringing this dip to barbecues or just enjoying it as a snack in between. It goes perfectly with vegetable sticks, crackers or baguette. And the best part: it's super easy and quick to make. Even cooking beginners can do it! So, get to the Thermomix® and start dipping!

About this recipe

This bell pepper cheese dip is more than just a recipe for me; it is a reminder of countless summer evenings with friends and family. I tried it for the first time at my cousin's barbecue, and it has been an integral part of my repertoire ever since. What makes it so special is the perfect balance between the sweetness of the bell pepper, the creaminess of the cheese and the little kick of the Jalapeño. The ingredients all play an important role. The cream cheese forms the basis and ensures the creamy texture, while the crème fraîche gives the dip an extra acidity and freshness. The grated cheese, I prefer to use a mixture of Cheddar and Gouda, brings spice and a slightly melting consistency. The bell peppers, in red, yellow and orange, are not only a visual eye-catcher, but also contribute a pleasant sweetness and crunchy texture. The fresh spinach or parsley provides a green note and an extra portion of vitamins. The clove of garlic gives the dip a subtle spice, while the Jalapeño, depending on the desired degree of spiciness, provides the certain something. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important not to chop the bell peppers too finely, otherwise they will become mushy. A few seconds on speed 5 are usually enough. If you like it a bit more rustic, you can stir the dip at the end with the reverse rotation to leave the bell pepper pieces a bit coarser. When seasoning, make sure that the dip is not too salty, as the cheese already contains salt. There are many possible variations. For a vegetarian version, you can simply omit the Jalapeño or replace it with another mild chili. For a vegan version, you can replace cream cheese, crème fraîche and grated cheese with vegan alternatives. You can also get creative with the spices. Smoked paprika powder, cumin or chili flakes go perfectly with this dip. Serve the dip with vegetable sticks such as carrots, cucumbers or bell peppers, with crackers, baguette or tortilla chips. It also goes perfectly with grilled food or as a filling for wraps. The dip can be stored in the refrigerator, well covered, for up to 3 days. You can also prepare it well in advance and take it out of the refrigerator shortly before serving. Before serving, you should stir it well again, as the ingredients may settle a little. If desired, you can decorate it with fresh herbs or a pinch of paprika powder.
