A fresh, creamy, and easy no-cook dip combining sweet corn and fresh jalapeño, perfect for summer gatherings and poolside snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh from the cob or thawed frozen corn)
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, finely minced (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. If using fresh corn, shuck the ears and carefully cut the kernels off the cob. For frozen corn, thaw completely and drain any excess water (about 5 minutes).
  2. Slice the fresh jalapeño in half, remove the seeds if desired, and finely mince it (about 3 minutes). Use gloves if sensitive to spicy peppers.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt. Stir until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Gently fold in the prepared corn kernels and minced jalapeño, being careful not to mash the corn (1-2 minutes).
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro if using, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and the dip thicken slightly.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing to avoid lumps. Adjust jalapeño heat by removing seeds or adding more after tasting. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. If dip is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk or lime juice to loosen. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing to prevent separation.
