If there’s one thing we’re proud of here at Delish, it’s that we have truly perfected the ratio for making the best-ever party dips. Here’s the trick: It’s ALL about the trifecta of mayo, sour cream and…cream cheese! To celebrate, we’ve rounded up all our favorite dips featuring the latter, from cold dips that are perfect for summer to warm dips you can make to celebrate all year long. Trust us—you’re going to want to bookmark these.

Not sure where to begin? You can never go wrong with the classics like caramelized onion dip, spinach-artichoke dip, Buffalo chicken dip, refried bean dip, or pub cheese. We love these so much, we’ve experimented with adding or subbing in different ingredients so you can make (and enjoy!) them over and over again without ever getting bored. Check out our bacon spinach dip, our crab-artichoke dip, our pretzel ring beer cheese dip, and more to see what we mean, then try it yourself with your own favorite ingredients.
