Tips & Variations

  • Make sure to heat treat the flour to make it safe for raw consumption and avoid any risk of bacteria.
  • Swap holiday sprinkles for mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts for different textures and flavors.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer, creamier dip.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, give the dip a good stir and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.
