Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat 8 oz (225 g) softened cream cheese with ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream and ¼ cup (60 ml) mayonnaise until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Use an electric mixer if available.

  5. Gently fold in 2 cups (300 g) fresh or thawed corn kernels and 2 finely diced jalapeños. Adjust jalapeño quantity based on heat preference.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly into an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 chopped green onions over the top. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving with chips or crackers.

Notes

Keep cream cheese and sour cream at room temperature for easier mixing. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat. Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness. Let dip rest 5 minutes after baking for easier scooping. For dairy-free version, substitute with plant-based cream cheese, sour cream, and vegan cheese. Can be prepared a day ahead and baked before serving.
