Top Tips

Corn Dip with Cream Cheese recipe becomes more delicious and fresh when you use fresh sweet corn cut off the cob. Cook extra ears of corn for night dinner then use leftover corn for preparing the Mexican-flavored Cream Cheese Corn Dip!

Serve the dip on room or hot temperature. Both ways are good.

You can serve this dip with Frito Scoops. Frito scoops make the dip more delicious.

For your next party, you should make twice as much of this dip. Every time, it will move rapidly.

Instructions

1. Remove the corn from the cob. To catch the corn, I usually use a Bundt pan. Cut the corn off the cob by running your knife down the cob. Afterwards, scrape out all the corn milk by using the back of the knife.
2. Put the corn in a pot with enough water. You should cook the corn on medium heat so that it will not burn. After boiling, turn off the heat. Drain the liquid completely, if you are using canned corn for the recipe
3. Put the corn kernels in a big bowl. Add sour cream, green onions, shredded cheese, cream cheese, cumin, jalapeno, chili powder, cilantro and lime juice. Afterwards, mix the ingredients by an electric mixer or by hand.
4. In a cooking dish, put the corn dip mixture. I prefer to use a glass 9-inch pie pan. However any size of pie pan will be ok
5. Cook it at 375 degrees until top is golden brown and bubbling. Remove carefully from the oven and make cool slightly. Add some green onions and cilantro for a good taste
6. If desired, sprinkle with hot sauce. I assure you, you will like it on the cheesy corn dip.

Substitutions

Corn Dip with Cream Cheese recipe is forgiving and quite adaptable. Make it your own by using what you already have.

Sour Cream – You can use Plain Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream.

Jalapeños – Use fresh or pickled jalapenos. If you don’t have fresh jalapenos, you can use pickled jalapenos. I always store pickled jalapenos in the refrigerator. Many people can tolerate the heat of pickled jalapenos because they are very light.

Mayonnaise – In this dip, you should not use Miracle Whip as a substitute for Mayonnaise because Miracle Whip is too sweet for  Corn Dip with Cream Cheese Dish

Garlic – In this dip, you can use garlic powder as a substitute for garlic. A half teaspoon of garlic powder is sufficient for this dip.

Cheese – You can use any shredded cheese but I use extra sharp cheddar cheese. I usually consider mild cheddar, pepper jack, Monterey Jack etc. However, I don’t use mozzarella or any of the milder cheeses.

Green onions – You can also use red onions if you don’t have green onions. There is a local restaurant in our city that offers a signature dip. They use diced red onions with this dip to make it yummy.

Equipment

With help of Glass baking pans, you can cook all in one dish. I like this easy appetizer. I often use a 9-inch pie pan to cook this dish. However, you can use pan of any size. You can also use metal pans for cooking this dish.

You should watch the cooking time. Sometimes, items bake faster than expected time. It is good to set your timer for shortest recommended cooking time. If the recipe require more time to cook, give more time until the dish is fully cooked.

Other Easy Dips

You can try other dips for a delightful appetizer recipe namely Cranberry Cheese Ball, Nacho Cheese Ball, Ranch Cottage Cheese Dip. For fun try some Pita Chips in the Air Fryer. It is easy homemade dipper
