Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 medium fresh jalapeños, finely diced
  • 1 cup canned sweet corn, drained
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and set your rack in the middle position for even baking.
  2. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to soften.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste.
  5. Fold in diced jalapeños and drained sweet corn gently.
  6. Add shredded sharp cheddar cheese and fold evenly into the mixture.
  7. Spoon the mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges bubble and top is golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven, sprinkle sliced green onions on top, and let cool for 5 minutes.
  10. Serve warm with chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices.

Notes

Soften cream cheese thoroughly to avoid lumps. Remove jalapeño seeds for milder heat. Watch the dip closely in the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning; tent with foil if needed. Use fresh jalapeños for best flavor. Can be made vegan or dairy-free with substitutions.
