I love how easy it is to turn deliciously rich, savory Boursin cheese is turned into a perfectly creamy dip with just 3 simple ingredients! It’s a thick, creamy dip perfect for parties, brunches, or showers, which only takes 15 minutes to make!
See recipe card below for full list of measurements, ingredients, and instructions.
Why This Is Your New Go-To Party Dip
- We’re adding sour cream and a little mayonnaise to a wheel of Boursin cheese to make it extra smooth and extra dippable. That’s it! This may well be the easiest dip you make this party season, but it is usually the one everyone asks me the recipe for as the herbs and garlic in the Boursin make it taste so much more complex than it actually is!
- There’s only 3 ingredients in this Boursin dip, so it’s a great budget-friendly option for a lot of people, especially when they’ve got Boursin on offer at the groceries store. Serve it for tailgating, holiday potlucks, parties, baby showers… Really anything where you need to feed a decent number of people without spending a ton of dough.
- There’s also zero cooking involved. All you need is your stand mixer, but the dip can also be made with a wooden spoon if your mixer is otherwise occupied getting ready for guests.
- As the dip needs to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving anyway, it is a fantastic make-ahead option! In the past I’ve made it up to 24-36 hours in advance. However, remember to make sure to take it out of the fridge early enough that you can serve it at room temperature – otherwise it can be a little too firm to dip into. The chilling in the recipe is to help the ingredients get to know each other, rather than to massively alter the texture.
- As this Boursin dip recipe is so simple, and all the flavor comes from the Boursin, it also works really well with other flavours of Boursin other than the classic one. Black pepper Boursin works particularly well.

What I Learnt Testing This Recipe
- I find it so much easier to get a super-smooth dip with no lumps if the Boursin is at room temperature before I start.
- Also to avoid lumps, I find it helpful to scrape down the sides of the mixer with a spatula a couple of times to make sure all of the cheese is properly incorporated.
- Boursin is a little crumbly all on its own, so the sour cream and mayo are both important if you want the dip to have that smooth, creamy consistency. If you’re looking to swap out those ingredients, I’ve had success using a full cup of plain Greek yogurt instead. It won’t have exactly the same consistency or flavor, but it’ll get the job done and be tasty at the same time! You can also replace just one of them with an equal amount of Greek yogurt (for example, replace the ½ sour cream with ½ cup Greek yogurt, and keep the ½ cup mayo).
Ingredients
Full fat sour cream – I find low fat sour cream makes the dip watery. You can sub for Greek yogurt if you prefer.
Mayonnaise – I like to use regular mayonnaise (choose your favorite brand) for a nice rich, thick dip, but if you want to make a swap for a low fat version, here is where to do it.
Boursin – The classic version, or any of the newer flavors will work! It will be easier to make the dip nice and smooth if it is at room temperature.
Serving & Storage Suggestions
You’ll (obviously!) need dipping vessels of some sort. I like to use crostini, potato chips, tortilla chips, or buttery crackers for a crunchy, carby option. If you want to include some veggies, go with carrot sticks, celery sticks, broccoli florets, or slivers of bell pepper.
This Boursin dip will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in a sealed container. Just remember to take it out for 30 minutes before serving to soften, and to give it a good stir before putting it out. However, if it has been sitting out more than 2 hours (1 hour in warmer weather) I’d toss any leftovers instead of saving them.
Leftover dip would make a great spread for sandwiches or wraps!

It was a great & easy app! Served with Trader Joe’s “Trail Mix Crackers.” Lots of flavors there.
Ooh, that sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing, Jenny!
This is such a great go-to for brunches or charcuterie boards! So delicious and easy!
We’re so happy to hear it! Thanks for sharing!
I found it was a bit bland. So I started throwing anything in to perk it up, Feta, lemon juice and a few red pepper flakes. Not bad but won’t make it again.
Ah, I totally get that! Boursin dip really is a blank canvas, and your additions sound incredible — feta, lemon, and red pepper flakes? That’s basically a chef-level upgrade. I might have to steal that for myself. 😂 Sorry it wasn’t quite your jam as written!
Love your recipes
We’re so happy to hear it! Thanks, Jami! 😊
I have Alouette cheese spread. Can I use this with the recipe below?
We haven’t tried this recipe with Alouette, so we can’t say for sure how it would turn out. It should be fine, though! Be sure to let us know if you try it!
We really enjoyed this! Basic and delicious. I think you could add any of your favorite extras to spice it up but good as it is. We actually subbed Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
Thanks for sharing.
We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing, Suzy!
🎄💚👏🏻
We hope you enjoyed it! 😊
Not enough flavor
Sorry to hear that, Sange! What flavor Boursin did you use?
I didn’t care for this. The flavor was very bland. It was nice and creamy but, it lacked something. Maybe chopped green chili’s would be a good addition.
That sounds delicious- be sure to let us know if you try it!
Tasty ez party fave
So glad you enjoyed it, Astrid! 😊
