Pepperoni Pizza Dip
Frequently Asked Questions
Any of the pepperoni from the refrigerator section of your grocery store will serve you well for this recipe. If you want it to be lighter, you can use turkey pepperoni. I recommend the smaller pepperoni for the purpose of dipping; if you have larger circumference pepperoni, simply chop them.
The already dairy-filled base (cream cheese, sour cream) is topped with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese. I think fresh mozzarella cheese would be delicious, too -- but, it would change the texture, as it doesn't melt as well.
If you are lucky enough to have any leftovers, my Pepperoni Pizza Dip will keep well in the refrigerator for 2-4 days. Simply reheat and enjoy!
