Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced green chilies (canned or fresh)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, green onions, or paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob (about 2 cups). If using frozen corn, thaw and drain excess water. If using canned corn, drain and rinse thoroughly.
- Soften the cream cheese: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave it for 15-20 seconds.
- Mix the base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cheese: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Add the corn and chilies: Gently mix in the corn kernels and diced green chilies. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
- Season: Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust to taste.
- Heat the dip: Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe dish and heat on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and everything is hot and bubbly. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the dip with chopped cilantro, green onions, or paprika for extra flavor and color.
- Serve: Pair the creamy corn dip with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks. Enjoy!
