Instructions:
In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, put the entire brick of cream cheese and microwave for 30 seconds at a time until the cream cheese is soft and spreadable.
Stir in the cottage cheese, and add the entire can of minced clams, including the juice.
I never measure the lemon juice, I just sprinkle a bit over the top, but probably no more than a tablespoon.

Our Baking Essential List:
- For baking casseroles, we use Glass Baking Dishes. I especially like the dishes with lids so leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
- Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
- A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
- This Knife Set will also become your favorite! They cut beautifully, and with the hollow design of the knife, food doesn't stick to the blade.

Im going to try this because I loved a seafood dip that publix sold when we lived in florida... But no one here sells it and when I did get some when my husband went on a mission trip down there it didnt taste the same. So now I need a replacement!!!

If Youve Seen My Mind...Id Love It Back
I will definitely try this! I had a friend (years and years ago) who used to make a big batch of clam dip for get-togethers. I never got her recipe, nor have I found a good replacement. I'm not afraid...I've discovered that some of the best recipes have odd secret ingredients. Thanks for sharing!

I only like cottage cheese in things, but my husband can eat big bowls of it plain. This recipe would be perfect for us both. Thanks!

We've been making something similar for decades. You can really improve the taste with chopped onion, worchestershire sauce, and chicken boullion.

We've made it with chopped onion and it is delicious! I will have to try with Worcestershire sauce and chicken bouillon! Thanks for the tip!

My husband's family has a very similar recipe, except they use canned shrimp instead of clams. I know what you mean. It doesn't seem like it would be good, but it is.
Thanks for sharing at Terrific Tuesdays.

I love clam dips, but I don't have a good recipe for one. This sounds really good, however I am not a big cottage cheese fan. I am going to give it a try though.
Thanks

We've used a version of this and your recipe a great "start." I suggest adding two other ingredients: Worcestershire sauce and a bit of Tabasco sauce. Also, for this quantity of cream cheese and cottage cheese we double the amount of clams. I suggest you start by adding 2-3 tablespoons of Worcestershire and 1/8-1/4 tsp. of Tabasco. If you like the flavor, increase both amounts to your taste. This really makes an outstanding dip. We've also used more cream cheese and no cottage cheese. Every time we've served it we get lots of requests for the recipe, I hope you enjoy this!

My mom makes a similar recipe but I think she also uses some mayo. She ended up having to triple the recipe to keep up with all the hungry faces lol. I'll have to try this and compare. I love a good clam dip

This is how my mom use to make it, there was two more ingredients though. She would put some tobacco sauce, and garlic powder. Ooooh so good.
And I agree with you the dip goes best with ruffle potatoes chips or the scoop chips. Thanks for sharing.Reply
Katie
I will have to try it with those two ingredients added. Thanks Steve!!
