Spicy Smoked Gouda Dip
I posted this Spicy Smoked Gouda Dip as a video a while back on TikTok and it went viral. A bit crazy since I didn’t even think a lot of people would react that much to it. Some people kept asking me to have the recipe permanently stored somewhere in case they lost the video. This recipe is actually inspired by a dip I once tried at a Whole Foods from someone handing out samples. The dip was called Spicy Mo’s. I immediately fell in love with it and have been recreating it at home ever since. Also, did you know that gouda is pronounced like “how-da” and not “goo-da?” I learned that the hard way when I received countless comments of people asking me why I’m pronouncing gouda so wrong. The thing with TikTok is that people will be brutally honest with you. But I love it.
I hope you give this Spicy Smoked Gouda Dip a try and if you do, be sure to let me know what you think below. As always, thank you so much for reading and following along. I can’t thank you enough as your support helps keep this site going. Cheers, my friends!
