Notes
- Use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese instead of preshredded cheese for a more even melt and non-grainy texture.
- Soften the cream cheese at room temperature for 30-45 minutes to make it easier to whip and mix with the other ingredients.
- Don’t over mix the crab meat into the dip or it may break down and turn mushy.
- Each serving is approximately 1/3 cup.
