    Hot Corn Dip with Cream Cheese

    This delicious hot corn dip with cream cheese recipe is rich, creamy, and cheesy. A quick and easy appetizer or snack to create for any party, family gathering, or just because.

    I made this corn dip with frozen corn that I cut off the cob during the summer. However, you can use bagged frozen corn or fresh corn kernels for this easy dip recipe. In fact, canned corn would probably work too. I'd just be sure to drain all the liquid before adding it to the other ingredients.

    Bowl with ingredients including, corn, cream cheese, shredded cheese, mayo and spices.

    Making Corn Dip with Cream Cheese

    Everything gets mixed together in a bowl. The cream cheese needs to be soft. It's a little harder to incorporate so start mixing it with the shredded cheese and mayo first. Then add the corn and spices.

    I used a pie plate but you can use a ceramic baking dish or another ovenproof pan.

    The round shape of the pie pan is nice for serving chips all around the edge. You can serve it with crackers, bread slices, or regular tortilla chips but the scoop shaped tortilla chips worked like a charm.

    Lighten it Up

    If you want a lighter version you can use low-fat cream cheese instead of full fat cream cheese, and substitute greek yogurt or light sour cream for the mayonnaise. Then serve the dip with cut-up vegetables such as sliced red bell peppers, carrot, and celery sticks.

    Everyone loved this corn dip recipe. It didn't last long so next time I think I'll double the recipe.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup fresh corn kernels or thawed frozen corn
    • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided 3/4 and 1/4 cup
    • 4 ounce can of hot green chilies
    • juice and zest of 1/2 lime
    • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Combine cream cheese with mayonnaise and 3/4 cup shredded cheddar in a medium bowl. Mix until well blended.
    • Add the corn, chilies, lime juice, and zest, and mix well.
    • Add the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper and stir.
    • Transfer the mixture to a greased or sprayed 9-inch pie pan.
    • Top with remaining 1/4 shredded cheddar cheese.
    • Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until the dip is bubbling and starting to brown.

    Notes

    Serve with tortilla scoops, chips, crackers, or bread rounds.
    I used hot canned chilis but you can amp up the heat by adding hot sauce or diced jalapenos.
    You can make this dip ahead by placing the contents in an airtight container and placing it in the fridge before baking.
    You can also reheat any refrigerated leftovers for the next day or so.

      So yum. So versatile. I added some bacon and a bit of chili powder as well, it doesn't need it though to be perfect on it's own.
