Want to feel warmth, spice, and great taste in every bite? A truly great jalapeño popper dip delivers all three at once. It should be creamy enough to scoop, spicy enough to wake up your palate, and rich enough to keep you coming back long after the first bite.

This jalapeño popper dip is built around balance. Fresh jalapeños bring controlled heat, cheese brings comfort, and a garlic thyme infused butter adds depth without overpowering the dip. The result is indulgent, cohesive, and unmistakably elevated.

Directions

LĒVO Prep

Pack the LĒVO Pod with garlic and thyme.
a. If using fresh herbs, run the DRY cycle first
b. Make sure your herbs are dry, if not, run the cycle for a longer period of time.
Slice 16 oz (four sticks) of butter into large pieces so they fit nicely into the reservoir along with the magnetic stirrer. Close the lid.
Set your LĒVO to 170°F and infuse for up to 5 hours, depending on your desired intensity.
a. Use your Herb Press to strain as efficiently as possible.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese and sour cream until completely smooth.
Add the shredded cheese, diced jalapeños, salt, and black pepper. Mix until combined.
Stir in the melted garlic-thyme infused butter until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and smooth the surface.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Let rest for 5 minutes so the texture settles before serving.
