This is an addictive cheese dip! I think spicy dips or salsas can be that way. You simply don't want to stop tasting it because the heat in your mouth tastes so yummy. Maybe the capsicum burn of spicy peppers is what is the addictive aspect. At any rate, I have purchased this dip before, pre-made, and decided to try it at home. A bit more cost effective. So this is my homemade version of replicating this store bought dip.
As Always,
ENJOY!
3/4 lb. block, smoked gouda cheese
2 green onions, greens only, chopped fine
2 Tbs. cilantro, chopped fine
1 1/2 Habanero peppers, chopped very fine( if you like it hotter leave in the veins and seeds)
2 Tbs. mayonnaise
2 Tbs. cream cheese
Shred all of cheese into large bowl. Add chopped green onion tops and chopped cilantro. Toss gently with your fingers. In a small bowl add the mayonnaise and cream cheese, blend together, then add chopped habanero. Mix together.
add this mixture to the cheese mixture and gently toss with a spoon. Chill, then serve.
tip: wear rubber gloves when chopping and working with the habanero peppers!
