Scale
Main Ingredients
- 5–6 cups (about 30 oz) frozen corn, thawed
- 12 oz cream cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, chopped
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (such as Tabasco), or to taste
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 lime, juiced
- ¾ cup cotija cheese (Mexican parmesan)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the thawed corn, cream cheese, sour cream, chopped red onion, jalapeño, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, hot sauce, and shredded Mexican cheese blend into the slow cooker. This mixture forms the base of your creamy dip.
- Cook Mixture: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours. Stir the contents well halfway through cooking to mix the flavors evenly and help the cheese melt thoroughly, resulting in a hot and creamy consistency.
- Finish and Serve: Stir in half of the cotija cheese, then squeeze fresh lime juice over the dip for a bright tang. Top the dip with the remaining cotija cheese and chopped cilantro before serving. Pair with tortilla chips, extra lime wedges, and your favorite hot sauce for a delicious appetizer experience.
Notes
- Use thawed corn for even cooking and best texture.
- Adjust hot sauce and cayenne pepper according to your desired spice level.
- Stir halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and ensure uniform melting.
- Cotija cheese adds a salty, crumbly finish typical of Mexican street corn.
- Serve warm to enjoy the creamy texture; leftovers can be reheated gently in the slow cooker.
- This dip pairs well with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or as a topping for grilled meats.
