Your blue cheese dip will last up to 1 week in the fridge. Normally, it lasts a lot longer, but as a dip, with other ingredients, it’ll last a week.

Question 3

Can you freeze blue cheese?

Accepted Answer

If you’ve bought more of the main ingredient than you need for this dip and you want to know how to store it, you can freeze it. It can be frozen for up to 6 months – just place it in an airtight storage container.

Question 4

What does blue cheese dip taste like?

Accepted Answer

A blue cheese dip has got big bold flavors. The blue cheese crumbles bring a pungent smell and strong cheesy taste.

The salt and pepper add to the balance. The Greek yoghurt gives it that luscious creamy taste and texture.

You could also add a dash of lemon juice, for a little zesty flavor.

Traditional blue cheese dip recipes call for sour cream. For me sour cream doesn’t work quite as well.

I prefer normal creamed cheese for this blue cheese dip. If you like, you can use sour cream for a slightly sour taste.

Question 5

Can you melt blue cheese?

Accepted Answer

Blue cheese crumbles really easily. It also melts very easily, which is why it’s often added to sauces for extra flavor.

Try melting it over pasta or into sauces for an extra rich taste. Check out my blue cheese sauce recipe!

Question 6

Why does homemade blue cheese dressing get watery?

Accepted Answer

The best way to avoid a watery blue cheese dip is to avoid using low fat ingredients. There’s a time and a place for low fat ingredients, but this recipe just ain’t it!

Full fat cream cheese, full fat sour cream or full fat mayonnaise are a must. Also, if you do use lemon juice, don’t overdo it. This could also lead to a watery blue cheese dip.
