Roasting garlic mellows the sharpness and enhances its natural sweetness, giving this rich dip an addictive caramelized flavour. Be sure to wipe out your food processor after pulsing the frozen spinach, as any leftover bits in the bowl will tint the cream cheese mixture. Serve with flatbread, sliced vegetables or your favourite PC crackers.
