A quick and easy creamy jalapeño corn dip that combines spicy roasted jalapeños, sweet corn, and a blend of cheeses for a cheesy, spicy party snack perfect for gatherings or casual nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 2–3 roasted jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for milder heat)
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh cilantro or green onions, extra jalapeño slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using fresh jalapeños, roast 2-3 jalapeños under the broiler or on a hot skillet until charred and blistered, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cooled, finely chop and remove seeds if desired.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or 5 minutes by hand.
  4. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Gently fold in the thawed corn, roasted jalapeño, and diced red bell pepper.
  6. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses into the mixture. Save the rest for topping.
  7. Spread the mixture evenly in an 8×8-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned around the edges.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions and extra jalapeño slices if desired.
  10. Serve warm with tortilla chips, pita wedges, or crunchy veggies.

Notes

Do not over-roast jalapeños to keep smoky heat mellow. Use softened cream cheese for a smooth texture. Thaw and drain corn fully to avoid watery dip. Let dip rest 5 minutes after baking for best texture. Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat level.
