I partnered with Forager Project to bring you this mind-blowing Vegan Blooming Onion Dip! Caramelized onions, creamy dreamy cashew milk yogurt and vegan cream cheese. Topped with the crispy bits you would get on a classic fried onion. I even added the flavors of the dip you get with a “bloomin onion”. So this entire dip tastes like getting a fried onion at a chain restaurant, but even better! Dip chips, veggies, crackers, pita bread or really anything you want in this dip and prepare to be amazed.
What You Need For This Creamy Onion Dip:
- Forager Cashewmilk Yogurt: I honestly think this is the best vegan yogurt out there!
- Vegan Cream Cheese: I used Kite Hill.
- Onions: I like to use sweet onions to make the caramelized onions.
- Sugar, Garlic Powder, Cayenne: To season the onions.
- Horseradish: Mixed in with the cream cheese and yogurt to give a traditional “bloomin’ onion” taste.
- Panko: Make sure you get vegan panko, some is not.
- Paprika, Thyme, Oregano and Olive Oil: Browned with the panko to create the crispy top.
So, this vegan blooming onion dip will knock everyone’s socks off. The caramelized onions with the horseradish. The super crunchy topping that tastes just like the breading that is on a fried onion.

Vegan Blooming Onion Dip
Ingredients
For The Dip
- 2 Tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 Large Sweet onions, sliced thin(about 2-2 1/2 cups)
- 1 teaspoon Organic cane sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- Pinch of Cayenne pepper
- 4 Ounces Vegan cream cheese, I used Kite Hill
- 3/4 Cup Forager Unsweetened Plain Cashewmilk Yogurt*
- 1/2 teaspoon Prepared horseradish, vegan (not creamed, just plain horseradish)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
For The Topping
- 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
- 1/2 Cup Panko bread crumbs, vegan
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 1/4 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- Pinch of Salt
- Green onions, chopped
Instructions
- First, caramelize your onions. Heat the vegan butter and olive oil on medium high in a large non-stick skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the onions to the skillet.
- Sauté, reducing heat as needed, for about 5 minutes or until the onions start to brown.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the onions, toss to combine. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to sauté the onions until they are golden brown and completely caramelized. This takes about 25 minutes.
- Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne over the onions, Toss to combine. Let sauté for another minute.
- Turn the heat off and let the onions cool while you mix together the rest of the dip.
- In a large mixing bowl add the vegan cream cheese, yogurt, horseradish and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Whisk until completely smooth. If you are having a hard time getting the cream cheese to be completely smooth, I like to use a hand mixer and beat until smooth.
- Once the onions have cooled a bit and they are just a little warm and no longer hot, pour them into the bowl with the cream cheese and yogurt mixture.
- Stir to combine everything. Now chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, make the crispy topping. Heat the olive oil in a medium sized non-stick skillet on medium high.
- Add the panko, paprika, thyme, oregano and salt to the skillet. Toss to combine everything.
- Toast the bread crumbs, reducing heat as needed, until the bread crumbs are golden brown. About 2-3 minutes.
- Put the dip in a serving dish and top with the crispy topping and green onions if desired.
- Serve immediately with chips!
