This vegan buffalo chicken dip is creamy, spicy and cheesy. Serving them in individual ramekins allows everyone to dip however they please, but you can definitely bake these in a traditional baking dish and serve it family style as well. With football season here, this is the perfect thing to bring to a potluck! You could easily fool anyone into thinking this was the traditional recipe.
The key to making a great vegan buffalo chicken dip is using high quality vegan alternatives. I used my absolute favorite cream cheese by wayfare and Diaya cheddar cheese. These are my absolute favorites so far! I will say that I have tried kite hill cream cheese, and I would absolutely not recommend it. It is SUPER salty, giving you no control over the actual recipe. Wayfare is my absolute favorite dairy free alternative to cream cheese, but it does have a pretty limited distribution so far. I get mine at Wegmans, but if you can’t find one near you, tofutti cream cheese will do just fine.
