Scale

Street Corn Dip Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 45 ears of corn)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Smoke the Corn. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place fresh corn kernels on a baking sheet or in a smoker-safe pan and smoke them for about 30 minutes, or until the corn is tender and infused with a smoky flavor.
  2. Prepare the Dip Base. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix Ingredients. Add the smoked corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, and chopped cilantro (if using) to the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Heat the Dip. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish or skillet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted. Alternatively, you can heat it on the stovetop over low heat, stirring often until bubbly.
  5. Serve Warm. Remove from heat and serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen corn if fresh corn is not available; thaw before smoking.
  • For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mix.
  • Leftover dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
  • If you don’t have a smoker, you can roast the corn in the oven at 400°F (204°C) until slightly charred for a similar smoky effect.
