Looking for a dip that’s both indulgently creamy and irresistibly flavorful? Creamed Corn Dip is your answer! This dish brings together the sweetness of corn and the richness of cream, creating an addictive snack that’ll keep everyone coming back for more.
Ingredients:
- 300 g canned sweet corn (drained)
- 200 g cream cheese (softened)
- 100 ml heavy cream
- 150 g cheddar cheese (grated)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 50 g red bell pepper, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 15 g unsalted butter
- 10 ml olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika (around 5 g)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Sauté the Vegetables
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add 10 ml of olive oil and 15 g of unsalted butter, letting them melt together. Once heated, toss in the diced red bell pepper and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the pepper softens and the garlic becomes fragrant. - The Creamy Base
In a separate bowl, combine the softened 200 g of cream cheese and 100 ml of heavy cream. Mix well until you get a smooth, velvety texture. Next, fold in 150 g of grated cheddar cheese—this will add richness and a nice sharpness to balance the sweetness of the corn. - Bringing It All Together
Once your vegetables are sautéed, pour in the drained 300 g of sweet corn. Stir it around for 2 minutes, letting the corn warm up and absorb those lovely flavors. Now, add the creamy mixture into the skillet. Stir continuously, letting everything meld together into a luscious, creamy dip. Sprinkle in 5 g of paprika for a subtle smoky heat, and season with salt and pepper to taste. - Garnish and Serve
For the final touch, fold in the 2 chopped green onions for a burst of freshness and color. Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices, or even veggie sticks.
Pro Tip: Want to add a kick? Stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper, or for more texture, throw in 50 g of crumbled bacon. It’ll take this dip to the next level!
