Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweet corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or spoon to blend these until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add corn and cheese: Fold in the sweet corn along with the shredded cheddar cheese and shredded pepper jack cheese. Mix well to distribute the cheeses evenly throughout the mixture.
  3. Season the dip: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure all spices are well incorporated, enhancing the dip’s flavor profile.
  4. Chill the dip: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly, improving its texture.
  5. Serve: Remove the dip from the refrigerator about 10 minutes before serving to let it soften slightly. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • You can use fresh, canned (drained), or frozen (thawed) sweet corn—choose what you have on hand.
  • For a spicier dip, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure that your mayonnaise and sour cream are certified gluten-free and serve with gluten-free chips or veggies.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days but may thicken, so allow it to come to room temperature before serving again.
  • For a lighter version, substitute light sour cream and reduced-fat mayonnaise and cheeses.
