Cheesy Pizza Dip (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Rich Cream Blend

01 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
02 - 8 ounces cream cheese, brought to room temperature
03 - 1/2 cup sour cream
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Cheesy Toppings

05 - 1 cup pizza or marinara sauce
06 - 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly shredded
07 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
08 - Fresh basil for a pop of color (optional)
09 - 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, cut in half if needed

→ To Serve

10 - Tortilla chips, sliced baguette, crackers, or breadsticks for dipping

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a 9-inch pie pan or a heatproof skillet lightly with cooking spray, so nothing sticks.
02 - Blend the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and seasoning until it's nice and smooth. Spread this mixture evenly to cover the bottom of your dish.
03 - Spread marinara over the creamy layer. Sprinkle half the cheeses on top, arrange your pepperoni pieces however you like, and finish with the rest of the cheese.
04 - Bake for about 20-25 minutes until everything's bubbly. Want it extra toasty? Pop it under the broiler for a minute but keep an eye on it. Let it cool a bit, toss on some basil if you'd like, and enjoy with your favorite dippers.

# Notes:

01 - Make everything the day before, and bake it off when you're ready to serve.
02 - Feel free to mix in veggies like mushrooms, olives, or peppers.
03 - Spicy fans can throw in some chili flakes or spicy pepperoni!
