Ingredients
  

Group: Creamy Base
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened at room temperature
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
Group: Corn & Cheese
  • 2 cups sweet corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Group: Vegetables & Seasonings
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and diced (optional) for a spicy kick
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer
  • Plastic wrap
  • Serving utensils

Method
 

  1. If using fresh corn, slice the kernels off four ears and cook them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes until tender. For frozen corn, sauté until thawed completely. If using canned corn, simply drain and rinse well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the room temperature cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Whisk until the mixture is velvety-smooth with a hint of tanginess.
  3. Fold in the mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. The brightness from the lime blends beautifully with the creaminess.
  4. Gently add the corn, diced jalapeños (if using), grated cheddar cheese, and chopped red onion, creating a colorful mixture.
  5. Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Be generous; the seasoning enhances the natural sweetness.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
  7. When ready to enjoy, garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions. Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, or veggies for a delightful treat!

Notes

This dip is even better the next day as the flavors deepen and become more harmonious.
