A creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy no-cook street corn dip perfect for dorm parties, last-minute get-togethers, and anyone craving big flavor without cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen corn kernels (thawed) (about 300g)
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise (180ml)
  • ½ cup sour cream (120ml)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 30ml)
  • ½ cup cotija cheese, crumbled (about 70g)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt to taste (start with ½ teaspoon)
  • Optional: 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (seeds removed for mild)
  • Optional: 2 green onions, sliced thin

Instructions

  1. Thaw and drain the corn completely to avoid watery dip (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and fresh lime juice. Stir until smooth and creamy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Fold in the thawed corn kernels and crumbled cotija cheese gently (about 2 minutes).
  4. Sprinkle in garlic powder, chili powder, and salt. Stir to combine and taste to adjust seasoning (about 2 minutes).
  5. Add chopped cilantro, and if using, diced jalapeño and sliced green onions. Mix well (about 2 minutes).
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

[‘Drain corn thoroughly to prevent watery dip.’, ‘Use fresh lime juice for best flavor.’, ‘Adjust chili powder and jalapeño to control heat level.’, ‘Chilling the dip for at least 15 minutes improves flavor blending.’, ‘Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; stir before serving.’, ‘Not recommended to freeze due to creamy base separation.’, ‘Can substitute feta cheese if cotija is unavailable, but flavor will be stronger.’, ‘Vegan version possible by using vegan mayo, dairy-free sour cream, and vegan feta or nutritional yeast.’]
