Tap a step to mark it done

1 Slowly heat the cream cheese, mayonnaise, powdered sugar, garlic powder, Old Bay, lemon zest, and mustard in a double boiler until the cheese is completely melted. (If you don't have a double boiler, fill a saucepan a third of the way with water and bring to a boil, place a metal bowl over the saucepan. This will work as a double boiler.)
2 Slowly stir in the wine and lemon juice (adjust quantities to taste and desired consistency). Slowly stir in the crab meat and onion greens.
3 To serve, transfer to a heated chafing dish or fondue pot to keep warm. Serve with bread cubes and forks for dipping. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
