Equipment

  • Spoon
  • Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 tub Philadelphia cream cheese (about 8 oz/ 250g) Feel free to substitute with another brand if necessary.
  • 4 oz mayonnaise After emptying the cream cheese into the mixing bowl, squeeze the Kewpie mayo into the (empty) cream cheese container till it's about ⅓-½ full. (I do this to save on the washing up!) I like Kewpie Mayo but you can also use regular mayo
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic Minced. Substitute: garlic powder If refrigerating the dip then eating it, use more garlic, as the coldness will dull the flavour.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt If adding canned tuna, add the tuna THEN salt as the tuna is already super salty.
  • Black pepper few turns of the mill
  • spring onions, minced green chillies, chives, parsley etc Optional garnishing for colour

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients, except the garnishing, together in a mixing bowl,
  • Sprinkle the garnishes on top.
  • Serve immediately with crackers and what not. (See above for full list of serving ideas.)
    Note: If refrigerating first, either let it warm up slightly or add more garlic before serving as the cold dulls the flavours.

Notes

Substitutes: If you don't have Kewpie mayonnaise, you can DIY your own by adding chicken bouillon powder and a pinch of sugar to regular mayonnaise. Any leftovers can be made into sambal mayonnaise.
To bulk up: add 5 hard boiled eggs, cut into small pieces, crab meat or surimi. I don't recommend tuna.
