Method
 

How to Make Hot Honey Cream Cheese Dip
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and goat cheese (if using). Beat until light and fluffy.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, gently warm the honey. Add in red pepper flakes and sea salt, then simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Transfer the whipped cheese mixture to a serving dish. Create a well in the center and drizzle hot honey over the top.
  4. For a gooey treat, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes, then drizzle with hot honey.
  5. Garnish with fresh herbs, nuts, or lemon zest, and serve alongside crackers, flatbreads, or fresh veggies.
