The next time you need a crowd-pleasing party appetizer, try this simple crab rangoon dip recipe.
Instead of making crab rangoon individually, create an easy dip!
No one can resist a bubbling cream cheese dip including this incredible crab rangoon one! Typically this appetizer is served like a crab puff with the cream cheese filling inside crispy fried wonton wrappers. It can be a little time-consuming to fill and then fry each piece on the stove.
With this idea, you can just mix the dip ingredients in a bowl and bake it. Then consider baking the wonton wrappers in the oven with a little spray of oil so they turn out crispy.
The result is a rich and creamy crab dip with three types of cheese and crispy wonton dippers that can easily be made in the oven. This is such a great dip for entertaining and is always super popular. In addition to the wontons, you can slice up a small baguette loaf and have small bread dippers too.

More tips for making this crab rangoon dip recipe:
- Can I prepare this as a Crock-Pot crab rangoon dip? I would think yes! Cream cheese dips typically do well melted in the slow cooker and it’s a brilliant way to keep them warm. Cover the dip and cook on low for a of couple hours until melted.
- You can use canned crab like I did or buy imitation crab instead.
- Feel free to change up the type of shredded cheese in this recipe. I went with sharp white cheddar and Monterrey Jack, but feel free to use parmesan or mozzarella. I think that shredding your own cheese is worth it here as it melts nicer.
What an awesome dip recipe!
I love that it requires minimal effort, has easy-to-source ingredients, and yet looks and tastes fancy and yummy. If you’re looking for a unique appetizer dip to try out for your next party give this one a try!
