Spinach Dip
Inspired by Montana's Four Cheese Spinach dip, this dip is great for potlucks or as an after school snack!
Calories: 597kcal
Ingredients
- 1 block vegan cream cheese 225 g, room temperature
- 1/4 cup soy milk
- 1 small onion minced
- 1/2 block of frozen spinach thawed and drained (about 1 cup once drained) You can also use about 1 cup chopped fresh spinach, but it'll turn your cream cheese green =P)
- 1/2 cup grated vegan mozza-style cheese
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper you can add more for a bit of a kick, I like to add about a tsp
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Cream together the cream cheese and milk
- Add the cayenne pepper, garlic powder and onion powder, onion, spinach, and 1/4 cup vegan mozza shreds.
- Transfer to an oven-safe bowl and sprinkle remaining mozza vegan cheese on top.
- Bake in oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and started to brown
- Serve immediately with pita, chips, or my personal favourite, baked flatbread.

Dip always seems so much fun but I’m not a fan of nacho chips so I usually ignore dips. Your suggestion of pita bread however makes me want to go shopping for dip ingredients right away!
Lisa Mai says
For some reason I can’t picture this dip with nachos. Pita is the way to go! But I hope you enjoy this once you gather the ingredients =)
Miss Tasty says
Lisa, I’ve been going through your blog and you have beautiful photos. I’ve had to wipe the drool from my mouth like 3 times already. Great recipes, too!!!
Lisa Mai says
Thank you so much! Don’t look too far back, my photography when I first started was pretty awful. I’m working on remaking those recipes so I can retake the photos.
LaShon says
I love to cook too! I can’t wait to make this dip, I know that it is going to be great.
Katie says
I was wondering, do you think this would freeze well? We have a huge crop of spinach this year and I am looking for recipes I can make and freeze for later in the year!
Lisa Mai says
I don’t really know, I don’t see why not. Just reheat in the oven but it might take around 45 minutes. I normally use frozen spinach anyway, so you could just freeze the spinach and make the dip fresh when you want to eat it.

Looks delicious Lisa!
Jan says
Sounds great. My brother makes a spinach dip and adds chopped water chestnuts for a slight crunch.
Lisa Le says
Ooh that’s such a good idea! I want to try that =)

But its only 2 cheese…
Lisa Le says
Hahha well you’re welcome to add all 4 types of cheese. Back then I preferred to buy one brick of cheese and shred it myself as opposed to buying the preshredded 4 cheese packs. (More frugal)
Lisa Le says
Thanks for sharing your version, Lois! Sounds like it’d be a hit at parties =P
Tanya says
I made this tonight but I also added red pepper diced up small and a bit of Parmesan on top also and it was so delicious! I cut up flat put as and brushed them in garlic butter and toasted them on a cookie sheet in the over till slightly golden brown and it turned out delicious! Everyone said it was better then Montana’s 4 cheese spinach dip! Definitely a new favourite!

Hi there,
I had found this recipe years ago and had it pinned to my board, made it a few times for my husband also, but it was before the recipe was veganized. I was just wondering if you still had the previous recipe ingredients and directions/ if it’s still possible to find it. I really wanted to make it this weekend for him and his friends, but unfortunately he, nor his friends are vegan. I’m definitely going to make the veganized cheese dip recipe for myself and my sister though!
Lisa Le says
Hi Christine,
This doesn’t always work for every recipe I veganize, but when I veganized this I just swapped in the vegan counterparts.
