Hot & Creamy Crab Dip
Holy moly heavenly dip! Are you guys ready for a hot and creamy dip that is going to be my new (and soon your) go to dip for any and every occasion?

Whole30 Crab Dip
This is the perfect dish to bring it a summer BBQ and is guaranteed to be a hit with any crowd.

Whole30 Crab Dip
Crab is generally not a cheap ingredient to use, so I am always amazed at how many crab dips I have tried seem to make cheese the star of the show, completely masking the delicious pieces of crab meat.


I really wanted this Whole30 crab dip to be just as creamy as traditional crab dip (but obviously dairy free) and I can confirm that it is pure ooey gooey deliciousness.


You can prep this dip up to two days in advance and then quickly heat it up in the oven right before serving.

Whole30 Crab Dip
I have included the recipe for a simple fake parmesan that can be sprinkled on top of the dip before baking to give it a bit of crunchy texture. The topping is totally optional and the dip is just as good without it.

Dairy Free Crab Dip
I found a really simple alternative to grain free crackers and vegetable sticks that is fantastic served alongside this dish. I peeled a daikon radish and cut it into thin slices like a cracker. They are incredibly sturdy, mild in flavour and perfect for loading with this crab dip.
