I don’t know if you’ve picked up on it yet, but I L-O-V-E me some good cream cheese dip!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, after we make it all sweet and fluffy and stuff, I like to call it “cheesecake” dip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway. Sweet cream cheese dip — it’s the very best. All creamy and dreamy and so easy to switch up and change around in so many different ways!<\/p>\n\n\n

I’m not great with the cutesy holiday treats. So I tend to rely heavily on color palettes to get me through mad holiday crazes. Red Velvet for Valentine’s Day, Peppermint (red and white) for Christmas, Pumpkin (orange) for Fall, and Lemon (pastel yellow) for springtime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The obvious choices for St. Patrick’s Day are, of course, the greens: mint, lime<\/strong><\/a>, and today’s flavor– pistachio!\u00a0I big, puffy heart pistachio flavored everything. Especially ice cream!!! And I think this dip tastes just like<\/em> pistachio cake<\/a>, which made it a home run in my book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s green! Which makes it perfect for a little St. Patty’s day fun. So that’s cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you’re not being a stickler on the whole green thing, there’s actually a better<\/em> way to eat this dip. Wanna see?<\/p>\n\n\n

Add a few cherries and chocolate chips to make a spumoni<\/em> dip!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever eaten spumoni? I’m always shocked at how many people I meet who aren’t familiar with spumoni. Spumoni is an Italian version of Neapolitan, but using the flavors pistachio, cherry, and chocolate instead of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, honestly, it’s about a million times better than Neapolitan. Not trying to be a Neapolitan hater or anything, just speaking the truth. Spumoni is seriously AMAZING.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And turning this pistachio dip into a spumoni dip pretty much knocked my socks off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So…. just sayin’. You should probably do it too.<\/p>\n\n\n
