As I family we would all devour it as soon as it came out of the microwave (yes that’s right microwave! I did say inauthentic 😂).

Honestly I am ashamed to say it but on the very odd occasion when I am home alone at night, I can polish this off with a bag of corn chips while zoning out in front of the telly, no problemo! Its an extremely naughty girl dinner for when you are feeling in need of some extra indulgence.

However if you are more disciplined than me, its also a great dip for sharing at a party or a BBQ.
