Even a non-cookie eater like myself would like these gingersnap cookies’ incredible spicy-sweet flavor and tempting texture. I enjoy including ground ginger, candied ginger, cayenne, and black pepper. They can be made to your preferences in terms of spices and cooking time, but keep in mind that the texture isn’t the only reason they’re called ginger snaps!

Exactly what we were looking for. We were looking for a substitute for horseradish since fresh horseradish is difficult to find where we reside. This more than fits the bill. Thanks for the recipe.
interesting spin on a slightly spicy dip; I liked it – a little too much garlic for me and I added green onions and a little lemon juice – not so much the taste of radish but tangy – try it – I had the good fortune to use fresh radish and green onion from my garden
I made the recipe but modified as a result of all the suggestions (less garlic, used one block of 1/3 fat less cream cheese rather than two, & twice the radishes). Still felt it needed a boost. From other reviews, I added a small amount of salt, fresh chopped dill and scallions. I can’t stopped eating it – OMG! Addicting! This will be great and less caloric with carrot/celery sticks and other veggies but right now, it’s being devoured with ‘Town House’ Sea Salt Pita crackers.
Great Recipe! Added some fresh chives from the garden to add color.
Very good with crackers. Great way to use our home grown radishes right out of the garden.
I had some cream cheese and a lot of radishes to use so was interested to try this. I wasn’t that impressed. Maybe the mildness of the cream cheese hid the radish taste but I couldn’t taste the radish much even though the radishes I used taste like radish. Garlic flavor didn’t come through either. I am thinking these flavors somehow cancel each other out. It is pretty.
Surprisingly good and very easy to make. I resized the recipe using 1 package of cream cheese, 5 or 6 radishes, and 2 tsp. of minced garlic. I added a 1/4 tsp. of salt and a dash of pepper. The dip improved overnight but there was a bit of liquid which I stirred back in. Next time I’ll add more radishes and garlic to enhance the overall flavor.
Very Good. You can taste the garlic. I only put 3 large cloves in with radishes.
Like others, mine turned out very runny–like salad dressing. That’s what I’m using it for. I also found I needed to add salt for flavor. I wonder if the runniness is a function of how large the radishes are. Mine were on the big side. I also used an organic cream cheese brand that has little more moisture than the most popular brand.
Have made this many times. Soooooo good!!!
3 star because it’s a great idea…..however, the raw garlic, there will be no scoring with my date tonight. This would have been better without the raw garlic, perhaps roasting would be better. I did add salt and cracked pepper, served with roasted plantains. To help save the dip after realizing the raw garlic was crazy strong I added some cayenne pepper, it helped a little. Next time I’ll either roast the garlic or skip it all together.
Made this because I got watermelon radishes in my most recent produce box. It was a lovely pink color! Other than halving the recipe, I didn’t change anything because I like to taste a recipe as it was intended to taste before adapting it. It had a bit too much bite for me personally, but people at the party I brought it to said it wasn’t too garlicky / spicy at all. I’m sure it’s just a matter of personal taste – I’m a major wuss when it comes to spice!
This recipe is great! I don’t like radishes and needed to get rid of some I had and I tried this recipe; needless to say I will be making this again.
www.pantryexperiment.wordpress.com I tried this recipe just as is, only doubled and it was amazing it had this beautiful garlic butter flavor, but to make it even better for my meat hungry husband I added pepperoni and salami, and I altered the cut of the radish a bit. If you want to see my alterations check it out at www.pantryexperimnt.wordpress.com. It was super incredible. I just added to this recipe. You should check it out.
I never really knew what to do with my radishes from my garden so I thought I would give this a try. After reading other reviews I altered it a little. I cut back on the garlic some and, a couple more radishes and a few splashes of tabasco sauce. Instead of two packages of cream cheese I only added one but also added an 8 oz container of sour cream. I folded in some ranch dressing, (just a little) some fresh chopped dill and even some chopped imitation crab meat. It had a great consistency. Not runny at all. Will definitely try it again.
This dip is delicious! Made it as a spread for the sandwich suggested by Mrs. Williams review… absolute genius! Incredible!
Delicious!! So good and we have plenty of radishes in our garden, does anyone know if you can freeze this dip?
Good basic recipe, just needed a kick. Added a bit of dry Italian dressing. Pretty color, great for valentines day!
Served with veggies and crackers-it was ok, added seasoned salt & a little fat free ranch dressing with cabbage and it was a wonderful coleslaw!
This was just ok. If you add a few touches – i.e. salt and dill, it really enhances it. But as the recipe is written, it doesn’t deserve 5 stars.
This makes a great sandwich spread!!! A local sandwich shop serves something similar to this on bread with turkey, cheese and bean sprouts…SOOOOOOO GOOOD!!!
