To mix well, the cream cheese should be at room temperature. Up to 2 tablespoons light cream or top of the milk added to the cream cheese will soften the dip and make it go a little further. Paprika pepper is added for decoration and is not hot. Cayenne pepper is red, too, but is very hot and rarely used for garnishing.
