Stilton Date Dip image

From a newsletter I get regularly from grandparents.com, this recipe was described as "A little bite of cheese, a little bite of sweetness, a little bite of crispy & a whole lot of delicious". Just when you think dips have about used up all their originality, along comes a recipe like this to convince you otherwise. (Time includes 5 min to crisp the bacon while you prepare the dates) *Enjoy* !

Time 10m

Yield 10 3 oz servings, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup Stilton cheese (or best-quality blue cheese, room temp, crumbled)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (room temp)
1 dash salt
fresh ground pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper (optional)
3 -5 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup dates (seeded & sml-diced)
8 slices bacon (thick slice preferred, crisp-fried, crumbled)

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer (blender or hand-held blender), combine both cheeses w/salt & pepper.
  • When blended, add cream until dip reaches desired consistency.
  • Fold in dates & bacon. Serve w/dippers and/or crackers of choice.
  • NOTE: Altho the recipe did not suggest this, I feel a chill time to allow the flavor to develop would be ideal . & . I think this would be best if allowed to approach room temp b4 being served. My thoughts, but your choices. :-).
