Why you'll love this recipe
- This cream cheese corn dip is perfect to prep ahead for a party! Make it in advance and just pop it in the oven right before the party!
- Made with finely diced jalapeños, this dip has a slight kick making it super flavorful!
- This corn dip made Greek yogurt and without mayo!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
- Corn kernels: I definitely recommend using fresh corn kernels! They have more crunch and flavor than frozen corn. If frozen corn is all that is available, it will still turn out delicious!
- Cream cheese: A block of non-fat or regular cream cheese will work great. (I don't recommend using whipped cream cheese that comes in a tub).
- Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a great lighter alternative to mayo. If you prefer using mayo, go for it!
- Jack and pepperjack cheeses: I love using a combination of both these cheeses! This dip is mild but if you prefer less spice, you can use all jack cheese. If you want an extra kick, you can just use pepper jack cheese.
- Jalapeño: I deseed the jalapeño but you can keep the seeds in if you like extra spice!
- Chili powder: If you are purchasing chili powder outside of the United States or Canada, I recommend referring to Recipe Tin Eats' recommendation on how to make chili powder (see the "homemade chili powder" section). Otherwise, your dip will be very spicy.

This is so delicious and I love the Greek yogurt twist instead of mayo. This dip reheated nicely . There was no separation compared to a dip with Mayo . Yummmy 😍
