Answer 1

If you freeze sour cream- or cream-cheese based dips, you will lose some quality.

Sour Cream

You can freeze it if you plan to use it in cooking or baking, but it is not recommended if you plan to use it as a dip or on your baked potato. Sour cream separates when frozen and takes on the consistency of cottage cheese. It’s fine to use, but won’t have the texture you would expect.

Cream Cheese

When frozen, cream cheese can become crumbly and some of the water in the cheese may separate out.  Blending cream cheese with some heavy cream, however, may help to avoid these problems.  Low fat cream cheese is therefore more likely to cause problems than full fat (33% MF) cream cheese.  If you are going to freeze cream cheese, most sources recommend not freezing it for more than about two weeks.

All of this means that you may see an noticeable loss of quality if you make cream cheese based dips ahead of time and freeze them.  They may not spread smoothly, and may have a grainy texture.
