Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces grated pepper jack cheese, plus extra for garnish (about 1/4 cup)
  • 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) sweet corn, drained
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped jalapeño peppers (3–4 jalapeños), plus a few slices for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

For Serving

  • Frito Scoops

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dip.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 1.5-quart baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set it aside while you prepare the dip mixture.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated pepper jack cheese, drained sweet corn, finely chopped jalapeño peppers, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper. Use a wooden spoon to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well blended.
  4. Assemble Dip: Spread the mixed dip evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle approximately 1/4 cup of additional pepper jack cheese evenly over the top to create a cheesy crust when baked.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish uncovered into the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is lightly browned for a golden finish.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to set. Garnish with a few fresh slices of jalapeños for an extra pop of color and heat. Serve warm with Frito Scoops for dipping and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can adjust the number of jalapeños to control the spiciness to your preference.
  • For a smoother texture, you can mash the corn slightly before mixing.
  • If you prefer a milder dip, remove the seeds from jalapeños before chopping.
  • The dip can be prepared a day ahead and baked just before serving.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or Frito Scoops for best results.
