Creamed Corn Dip GUEST BLOG

-

 My sister-in-law Andrea made this after Christmas for a family gathering. I have to be honest I usually have restraint but this was so good- I kept going back for just one more! She had both crackers and tortilla chips -I personally loved the saltiness of the tortilla chip!

Sweet, creamy, and savory all in one, this dip is perfect for chips, crackers, or crudites.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium (10 ounces each) ears fresh yellow corn, shucked (2 cups) (she used frozen- defrosted)

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 12 ounces chive and onion cream cheese, softened

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped chives

  • Corn chips, toasted baguette, Belgian endive, sliced cucumbers, radishes, carrots

Directions

  1. Place corn on a cutting board and use a sharp chef’s knife to remove kernels from cobs; place kernels in a medium bowl. Using the back of the knife, scrape cobs to remove any excess corn and corn milk; place in bowl with kernels and save the cobs for another use.

  2. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add corn and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer 1/2 cup of the kernels to a small bowl; set aside. Transfer remaining corn to the bowl of a food processor and let cool for 10 minutes.

  3. Process corn until finely chopped and almost smooth, about 20 seconds. Add cream cheese and pulse until smooth, about 8 pulses. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved corn kernels and pulse 1 more time. Spoon into a serving bowl and top with remaining 1/4 cup corn kernels and chives. Serve with dippers of choice.

About this recipe 

Get ready to dive into a delightful and creamy corn dip that's sure to be a hit at any get-together. Inspired by creamed corn, this dip boasts the sweet and buttery flavors of the popular side with a hearty texture signature of any cream cheese-based dip. To save time without sacrificing any flavor, we opted for a chive and onion flavored cream cheese instead of a plain cream cheese. A garnish of fresh chives also doubles down on the savory flavor from the alliums. Serve this with corn chips, toasted baguette slices, or your favorite fresh vegetables.
