Thank u for this recipe! I’m going to make this for my Christmas party at work!!
Awesome and easy. Thank you.
Can you make a week in advance and freeze?
I wouldn’t recommend freezing cheese like that, while I have never tried to freeze this particular recipe, I haven’t had success with cream based stuff in the past!
