I first fell in love with spinach artichoke dip many years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday, I was out to lunch with my mom on a mother daughter date and we were at one of my favorite restaurants. At the time, I was undiagnosed with celiac disease and not aware of my dairy allergy – so everything on the menu was fair game.
We were in the mood to try something different than our usual. We asked our server for their recommendation on which appetizer to choose and he told us that we just HAD to try the spinach artichoke dip. It was SO delicious that it became my new favorite appetizer and I ordered it at every restaurant I went to.

After being diagnosed with Celiac Disease and my dairy allergy I couldn’t go out to eat and enjoy the things at restaurants that I normally did. So I began re-creating my favorite things to fit my dietary needs.
Let me tell you, this dip took FOREVER to perfect! I made numerous batches with so many different ingredients until I got one that was just right. This vegan spinach artichoke dip is SO GOOD that nobody will even know that it is dairy free and vegan!
Because it took so many tries, I have tried every vegan cream cheese on the market and found that Toufutti is the best for this dip in terms of texture and flavor. So please keep that in mind when gathering the ingredients for the dip. ALSO – note that this dip can also be made with regular dairy products and turn out the same (I can thank my family of dairy eaters for testing this out for me).
Get your hand mixer (this one is my fave) and a bowl out and let’s get to dip makin’!

Hi Kk, I haven’t made this in a slow cooker, but I don’t see why you can’t try it. You could also try heating the cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl for a 30 seconds to a minute to make it soft and easier to mix all the ingredients together. Hope this helps and that it turns out well for you! Thanks for stopping by 💜
