Notes
It thickens as it cools. Don't worry if it looks thin in the pot. Give it a few minutes and it turns into a creamy, scoopable dip.
No heavy cream? Half-and-half works, the dip will just be a little thinner.
Storage: Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months. Microwave for 10 to 20 seconds to loosen it before serving.
