Soften the cream cheese until it’s smooth and easy to mix. Add the chopped clams, lemon juice, clam juice, and horseradish. Stir until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with fresh vegetables or pretzels for dipping.
About this recipe
This clam dip is a classic party favorite — creamy, tangy, and full of flavor. Using cream cheese as the base makes it rich and smooth, while the clams and horseradish add just the right balance of brininess and kick. It comes together in minutes, which makes it perfect for last-minute get-togethers, potlucks, or game day spreads.
Serving suggestions
Serve it chilled with crisp vegetable sticks like carrots, celery, or bell peppers for a lighter option, or pair it with pretzels, crackers, or toasted bread rounds for something heartier. It also works beautifully as a spread on sandwiches or as a topping for baked potatoes.
