Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC) if planning to serve warm, or skip this step if serving chilled.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free cream cheese, fat-free mayo, and nonfat yogurt.
  3. Beat the mixture with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in the prepared horseradish, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce.
  5. Mix until all seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the cheese base.
  6. Fold in the shredded fat-free cheddar cheese and the flaked imitation crab until just combined.
  7. Transfer the dip to a serving dish.
  8. If serving chilled, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  9. If serving warm, bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or microwave in 1-minute intervals until heated through and cheese is melted.
  10. Sprinkle the top with paprika for color and a hint of smokiness.
  11. Serve immediately with crackers, breadsticks, or fresh vegetable sticks.
