🥄 Essential Ingredients for Gluten Free Hot Dips

Creating delicious gluten-free hot dips is easier than you might think! Here are the key ingredients you'll need to whip up crowd-pleasing dips without the gluten:

1. Cream Cheese - Cream cheese provides a creamy base that's perfect for rich, smooth dips. Be sure to always check the label to ensure there are no added gluten-containing ingredients.
2. Cheddar Cheese & Other Melty Cheeses - Many of these dips rely heavily on cheese--it adds that gooey, cheesy goodness everyone loves. Most natural cheeses are gluten-free, but pre-shredded and other flavored varieties might contain additives, so double-check. Tip: check out my guide to gluten-free cheese here.
3. Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt - These ingredients bring tanginess and creaminess to balance out flavors. I like to choose plain versions to avoid any hidden gluten from flavorings.
4. Spices and Seasonings - These dip recipes rely on various spices and seasonings to elevate the flavor profile of your dips. Most herbs and spices are naturally gluten-free, but it’s best to use single-ingredient spices instead of spice blends to avoid cross-contamination. You can learn more about hidden gluten in spices here.
5. Gluten-Free Thickeners (like Cornstarch or Arrowroot) - These help your dip achieve the perfect dip consistency and are great substitutes for flour-based thickeners.

When selecting ingredients for your dips, always read labels! Even if an ingredient should be gluten-free, sometimes it isn't due to processing.
