Make a clam chip dip for your next party or get together. A clam chip dip recipe so good they'll keep coming back for more! Easy DIY Recipe Tutorial Idea.
This chip dip is a family favorite and at any Adams Family function or event, you are sure to find Clam Chip Dip on the table. We love it so much, we have nicknamed it Adams Dip. It is really that good!
The first time I came into contact with this dip was while my husband and I were dating and I drove up to eat dinner with his family while they were camping and of course, the dip made its appearance. I have never been a big fan of cottage cheese and that is the main ingredient. I swore there was no way I was going to put that into my mouth. Why would anyone put cottage cheese on a potato chip and eat it? But I was young and in love and didn't want to offend my cute boyfriend.
It was AMAZING!
Now I am hooked, so I guess its a good thing that I married that cute boy!
So here is the recipe for that AMAZING Clam Chip Dip!
Ingredients
- 8 Ounces Cream Cheese
- 24 Ounces Cottage Cheese
- 1 Can Minced Clams
- Lemon Juice to taste
- Favorite Potatoe Chip
How to Make the BEST Clam Chip Dip Recipe
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.
Combine all of the other ingredients into the bowl. For the clams, you want the entire can, juice and all. I never really measure the Lemon Juice I sprinkle it in, probably no more than a TBS.
With a rubber spatula stir the dip making sure to scrape the sides so everything gets mixed in well.
And that is all there is to it!
I like to eat the dip with the ruffle chips while my husband prefers the classic chips. So it is really is just a preference.
If you are brave enough to try this recipe I would love to hear what you think! I know you're going to LOVE it, but I want to hear it from you! Share and leave a comment below.
And maybe after you try it you will fall in love and get married! Hey, it happened to me!

Notes
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 are super easy to clean!
- To prepare all of those ingredients a Glass Cutting Board is a must. 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!

Your dip sounds so good!!!! My husband's aunt makes a great one and I never got the recipe from her, thanks for sharing yours!!! I can't wait to make it! :o)

We've been making something similar for decades. You can really improve the taste with chopped onion, worchestershire sauce, and chicken boullion.
Katie
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
Steve
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.
Katie
I will have to try it with those two ingredients added. Thanks Steve!!
