I decided to try and develop a gluten-free cheesecake cupcake recipe that everyone can love as I come from a family with a lot of gluten intolerance. After experimenting with a variety of recipes, I’ve finally found one that I adore and that you’ll all enjoy as well. The alternatives are infinite, and it tastes delicious either plain or topped with whipped cream, chocolate ganache, fruits, and more. Merry baking!

loved it.
Love it!!! IT’S THE BOMB!!!! We put it on our salad and it was delicious, dipped cucumber and carrots in it, delicious, chips the kind in the Mexican restaurant and ruffles chips delicious, put it on bologna sandwich and it’s delicious!!! New dip I’m sure you’ll love!!!
Definitely not the Mexican White Sauce everyone knows but I guess you can call it a Mexican white sauce cuz it’s white and has Mexican seasonings lol. This has way too much cumin and just taste weird.
It was a hit at the party, they were also putting it on the Brats. I gave it 4 because I would put a little less crushed red pepper, really spicy for me.
Didn’t have mayo so I used creamy blue cheese and thinned it with lime juice and added the spices. Needs a little tweaking but it was good. This works for how I use it. I put it on top of beans & rice with some Pico de Gallo, olives, cheese, avacado and anything else laying around.
I let it sit for a day, tasting it here and there. After 24 hours it now just tastes like garlicky miracle whip. I stirred it with a whisk and followed the recipe exactly. Not happy with it AT ALL. This is NOT what I expect to be served at a Virginian Mexican restaurant
It was ok. I wouldn’t go out of my way to make it again. Even after letting it sit for 3 days in the fridge, it was an overwhelming taste of Miracle Whip. Someone mentioned that it needed the ranch dressing mix. If I do make it again, I’ll add the ranch.
I have visited a few Mexican restaurants and sometimes its spicy and sometimes it can taste a little sweet. I made this recipe and my husband thought it was great but was missing the sweet. I guess you can use a tad of sugar, but I like spicy so more red pepper flakes. FYI I use ground red pepper flakes to mix and blend better.
This is a really handy recipe to have, I usually have all the ingredients on hand so It’s easy to make. I have used it in a pinch for fish tacos, just omit the oregano and ad some lime juice.
yes it needs Ranch and mild salsa just need to tast to get it right
It’s a good start! I added 1 Tbsp Ranch Dressing, 1 Tbsp Olive Juice (yes, really!) and juice from 1/2 Lime.
Barely even remniscient of the Mexican white sauce. Try with less oregano if you insist on using this recipe.
Very Delicious!!
I tried this chip dip at a restaurant in Williamsburg, VA, and my friend begged the server for the recipe. Needless to say, we were not given the recipe. When I came across this one, I decided to give it a try, and it is as good as the one we had at the restaurant. I didn’t have pepper flakes, so I had to substitute cayenne pepper, but I could tell little difference in that respect. I urge anyone looking for this white dip recipe to try this one. I don’t think you’ll be at all disappointed. This was quick and inexpensive to make.
Okay, so after reading a few reviews I made some changes to the original recipe! I used 1 Cup Miracle Whip, 1 Cup Sour Cream (instead of 2 cups Miracle Whip) also added 1/4 teaspoon Onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper to the original recipe and it has a GREAT taste! Love it! Next time I make this I may add some more Cayenne to add some more zing! But honestly great recipe!
I cut the recipe in half and made it. It was okay but I’m not crazy about miracle whip and that’s mostly what I could taste. I decided to make it again but follow recommendations and it turned out great with the changes. I used 1 cup Miracle Whip, 1 cup Mexican Crema, about 2 tbsp Ranch, and omitted the milk. For the seasonings I used the same amounts in the recipe for the Oregano, Garlic, and Cumin. I used Seasoned Salt instead and only used 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes. I also added 1/2 tsp Paprika, 1/2 tsp Onion Powder, and 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper. If you want you can add more Red Pepper or Cayenne if you want a kick, but I can’t handle really spicy stuff. It was MUCH better the second time around! Will make again with the changes!
great sauce! I tweaked it a little by adding a more ranch dressing, a pinch of lime or lemon juice and a little sugar! love it!!
I love Mexican food and have made this sauce quite a few times . I make my food very spicy and this sauce helps tame the spice for my mom. When I make up will add a little dill and some of my own mixed spices to it let it sit for a hr then add some lime juice then let it sit for at least another couple hrs before I serve. Thank you for the recipe
My wife said it may need a touch of sugar. Definitely will make this every time we have Mexican night.
Feel like I’m sitting waiting for entrée when I eat this sauce! I made the first time by the book, have to say the oregano was an odd flavor in there…so when I made it again left the oregano out. I was out of milk the second time so it turned out thicker but flavor was fine. Next time I will try the sour cream thing suggested by others. I will suggest using fresh ground sea salt and very little of it since the Miracle Whip has sodium, so do the chips you are dipping. I had never seen white sauce served with chips and salsa until I moved to Chesapeake in 1996, now I see it everywhere. Oh…and if you haven’t tried them, try Xochitl tortilla chips. They are paper thin, crispy, and ADDICTING. 😉
This was good, but not exactly like the kind at my favorite Mexican place.
