Roasted garlic has been a fundamental ingredient in the cuisine of various cultures around the world. Its mild and sweet flavor, a result of caramelization during roasting, has led to its use in multiple preparations, from sauces to creamy and savory dips. In Latin America, this type of preparation can have different names and variations depending on the country. For example, in Mexico, while a "roasted garlic dip" as such is not very common, roasted garlic is used in sauces and dressings. In countries like Argentina and Chile, it can be found in homemade preparations where it is accompanied by cheeses and different spices that enhance its flavor. This dip recipe is a modern and delicious version that combines the smoothness of cream cheese with the intense aroma of roasted garlic and the delicate touch of Marsala wine.
