Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened or room temperature
  • 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients into a food processor fitted with the metal blade and blend until smooth, stopping midway to scrape the sides and blend again. Alternatively if you don't have a food processor, use a hand mixer but make sure that the chipotle chiles in adobo are finely mince.

  3. When serving right out of the fridge, let it rest on the counter for about 20 minutes to soften it...making it easier for scooping
