Jalapeño Corn Dip

Who’s ready for some Hot Corn Dip? I don’t know what it is about corn dip recipes, but I’m a fan of them all! It seems my readers are too. Several years ago I shared my now-famous Out-of-this-World Corn Dip here on Inspired by Charm and it continues to be one of the most popular recipes on my blog. It’s also one of my favorites. I make it multiple times a year. (You can find that recipe HERE.)

I have been asked many times if Out-of-this-World Corn Dip can be served hot. I’ve always loved it as is, so I’ve never tried baking it. (Though, one of you told me you did and said it was good.) Because I was often asked this, I decided to create a total separate recipe (the one you’re reading here) for a Hot Jalapeño Corn Dip.

What Goes Into Corn Dip?

As with many corn dip recipes, the ingredients are pretty standard:

  • corn
  • jalapeños
  • cream cheese
  • shredded cheese
  • spices

You’re also going to need something to eat your corn dip with. My go-to for almost any corn dip is Fritos Scoops.

They are corn chips and their scoop shape makes them perfect for loading up all of that corn dip deliciousness.

Speaking of serving, if you like this baking dish I used, you can find it here. While it’s meant to be a pie dish, I love it for dips like this too! Not matter how you use it, you can find it HERE.

Recipe Notes:

The heat of the jalapeño pepper comes from the seeds and white pith inside the pepper. For a hotter dip include the seeds and the pith. If you’d like less heat, don’t include any seeds or pith. When I made this recipe, I wasn’t planning on adding the seeds and pith, but since I wasn’t overly particular in my preparation, some did end up in the dip. To me, it felt like the heat was perfect for most palates.


You can prepare this dip a day in advance (or hours beforehand) and bake when you are ready to serve.
And with that, your Hot Corn Dip is ready to be enjoyed. Scoop until your heart (and belly) is content.
