Whipped Pimento Cheese
A creamy, dreamy version of our popular classic pimento cheese recipe. The fluffier, whipped consistency makes this pimento cheese super spreadable and dippable – great for sandwiches, wraps, and delicate crackers alike!
- Yield: Makes 1.5 cups (give or take) 1x
- Category: Appetizers and Snacks
Ingredients
- 8-ounce block of extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated (pre-shredded cheese won’t work)
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot or onion
- 4-ounce jar pimentos, drained
- Dash of garlic powder (optional, technically a dash is 1/8 tsp)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 to 4 tablespoons plain yogurt (cream cheese also works and is traditional)
- Lots of freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
SERVING SUGGESTION: This works well with any chips, crackers or veggies you choose to serve with it, but the smoother consistency is also great for sandwiches, burgers, and wraps.Â
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until totally smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust for seasoning, consistency, etc. Make it yours! Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature. Or, you can store in the fridge in a lidded/covered container for up to a week – 1.5 weeks.Â
