The Best Creamy Clam Dip Ever (Quick & Easy)

July 13, 2017 By Victoria

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Everyone would love a dipper. It’s true, any kids or seafood hater would clean this bowl of clam dip, provided that they didn’t know what’s in there. It’s so creamy, thick, and tasty no matter what is used as dippers.

Creamy Clam Dip

The recipe is so easy and quick to fix, no cooking is required and a trip to the grocery store would make plenty.  You can make this beforehand, chilled and serve at that party, gathering, picnic, or on the road.

In fact, I tend to whisk them up in the fridge and let the boy dipped with some hard veggies like carrot or celery stick. Broccoli works too, it’s the only way to get some vegetables in him without all the works of hiding and stuffing. Store-bought chips, french fry, bake sweet potato chips work too. You can also make some kale chips to dip in these too.

Clam dip and veggies

Just a little note, if you want the dip to be thick, always chill before serving. Want them thinner, add more clam juice. If you need to get rid of the fish smell, upon straining the clams, mix them with the chopped garlic, ground pepper, scallion, and Worcestershire sauce and let sit for 10-15 minutes before adding into mixed cream cheese/sour cream.

Clam dipping sauce

Have the Tabasco or hot sauce on the side for spicy eater to add to their heart content, leave the dip mild for the kiddo.
