A creamy, spicy, and sweet hot corn dip with jalapeños and cream cheese that’s quick and easy to make, perfect for parties and game day snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3 ears) or thawed frozen corn
  • 2 medium jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped (leave some seeds for extra heat)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lime juice
  • Optional: substitute cheddar with pepper jack for spicier twist

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or oil.
  2. If using fresh corn, cut kernels off about 3 ears of corn. If using frozen, thaw and drain well.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon oil and sauté the chopped jalapeños for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well blended.
  5. Fold in the roasted corn, sautéed jalapeños, and sliced green onions gently to keep corn kernels intact.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  8. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispier top, watching closely to avoid burning.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Roast or sauté corn and jalapeños to enhance flavor. For a smoother dip, pulse in a food processor. Let dip rest after baking to thicken and meld flavors. Broil briefly for a crispier top if desired.
