Unfortunately due to the cream cheese and sour cream in this dip, it will not thaw in the proper texture as it was frozen it. You will find the texture will be off once it thaws. Some dairy just doesn’t do well in the freezer. If you want to try it go for it, but know the texture will be different than first served.
