Dip that knocks your socks off

At the Turtle Point Restaurant on Kiawah Island they serve a very tasty dip. It has some name that I can't remember. It is something like Cheesy Blue Chips or Gorgonzola and Blue Chips.. I really can't remember. The name is irrelevant because it is all about the taste as far as I am concerned. And oh man, does this taste good. It is so good that, well, you may never make any other dip again.


It has replaced Spinach and Artichoke dip as my fave dip. Let's examine this: Spinach, a super duper good for you food. Artichokes. Hmm. A vegetable. Must be good for you. My favorite recipe also uses tomatoes. All those healthy veg's. Now I replace that with a dip that really has no redeeming value.

I am moving backwards on the nutrition evolution scale. What? you have never heard of the nutrition evolution scale?

Me either. I just made it up. I am such a hypocrite. I start this blog to talk about the many wonders of whole wheat and now I present you with this sinful dip. I should be punished. The worst part is that you don't even eat it with something healthy like carrot sticks. Or broccoli. Or even tortilla chips. Nooooooo, you eat it with Kettle Fried potato chips. I don't think that is exactly what they are called. Anyway, kettle whatever chips. Or even just a plain bag of Lays potato chips.

Say a prayer for my dip loving soul. It has left my body to dwell in dip nirvana. It sent me a postcard and asked me to forward the mail because, now these are my dip loving souls words, not mine: Baby, I ain't comin' back!

Please send help. Better yet, send potato chips...

Okay, are you ready to commit the act with me? You are gonna need:

2 bricks of cream cheese. Yes, full fat, there is NO other kind!

1/2 stick of butter. Yes, REAL butter! Really people, get with the game here!

1/2 pint heavy cream. Yes well, surely you are getting it by now. NO SUBSTITUTIONS.

1 8 ounce container Gorgonzola crumbles

1 8 ounce container Blue Cheese crumbles

Now, I have some pictures to help you understand this complicated process....

Cream the cream cheese and the butter
add the cream
pour in the blue cheese and Gorgonzola. save out just a little of one or both of them to sprinkle on top so it will look purty. or don't. Now put it in something that you can put in the microwave. I used this sexy little white number. It just screamed microwave safe dip container. I told it to be quiet. And then I filled it up with dip. And then I licked the spoon. and then I smoothed the top again, because it just wasn't quite right. Then I just had to lick the spoon again. I suffer for my art. Now put it in the microwave and warm it up. about 45 seconds and give it a stir. TASTE it. Then warm it up a little more. I like it nice and toasty. But that is because I am always freezing my buns off, even without Crunchy telling me to.
Oh my goodness...great holy heck...come to mama...er, um.. I mean. Here is the finished product. This is from Christmas Day. We served tortilla chips with the dip since we had only bought one bag of potato chips. After I set this out and lovingly took a picture. And told dippy how wonderful she was and how much I loved her, something TERRIBLE happened.
A pack of ravenous wild animals? An entire NFL football team that was out of Chunky Soup? Cookie Monster? One minute it was there and then next, it looked like this...

Oh my poor dip. What happened? You all probably can guess... my CHILDREN happened! I tried to get a picture of them devouring, I mean, enjoying the dip, but whenever I got close enough I was afraid I might lose a finger, or a whole hand! That tiger at the San Francisco Zoo has nothing on my kids. They were hungry and they love this dip, also.

Go forth and make dip. And invite me over to help you eat it. PLEEEEEEASE!
