Sweet Corn Dip:
- 2 cups sweet corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
Creamy Base:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese, softened
Cheese Blend:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Additional Mix-ins:
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- ½ cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)

Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, cut kernels off the cob. For canned corn, drain and rinse it. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain excess moisture.
- Mix the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Include Mix-ins: Fold in corn, green onions, red bell pepper, jalapeño, and cilantro if desired.
- Serve: Refrigerate for a cold dip or bake for a hot dip topped with cheese until bubbly.
Notes
- Mexican Street Corn Dip – Give your corn dip a bold twist by swapping the mayo for Mexican crema, then adding crumbled cotija cheese and a generous sprinkle of Tajín.
- Spicy Kick – Mix in diced jalapeños, hot sauce, or cayenne pepper for added heat without overpowering the dip.
