How to Make Corn Dip
I love that this Hot Street Corn Dip is as simple as blending all of the ingredients together in a high powered blender or Mixer, pouring into a baking dish, and baking until hot and bubbly.
It’s so much easier (and cheesier) than traditional street corn! I love both, but this version is simply an amazing EASY version for parties, and especially Cinco de Mayo!
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- In a high powered blender or mixer, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, hot sauce, lime juice, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Blend until fully combined.
- Scoop the cream cheese mixture into a large bowl and add the remaining one cup cheese, the corn, feta, pepper, onion, and cilantro. Stir to combine.
- Pour mixture into a prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with more cheese if desired.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly. Garnish with more cilantro, feta, and hot sauce.
- Serve with chips and enjoy!

What is Street Corn?
Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob is often called street corn. It consists of an ear of corn being grilled to perfection and then layered with sauces like sour cream or mayo, layers of fresh cilantro and lime juice, spices like chili powder, and cheeses like feta, parmesan, or cojita cheese.
We have made several versions of this classic Mexican dish that you should explore!

Made this for a dinner party and everyone loved it and asked for the recipe, so I sent them the link. The only thing I added was some diced tomatoes which I patted dry before adding, for just a little contrast. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for sharing, Tracy!
This is amazing and we serve it all the time. Do you think it would freeze better after baking or before…I would like to make a bigger batch to have on hand.
I’ve always made it fresh, but I am sure either way works!
This dip is amazing! My husband and I ate over half of it in one night. Didn’t have franks hot sauce so used Cholula chili and lime, it came out so good. Probably one of the best dips I’ve ever had! Tried some the next day cold, still really good but heating it makes it even more amazing. 100% recommend!!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
My daughter found this recipe and made it for the superbowl game, she sent me the link so I decided to make it too. I used everything in the ingredients list except for the franks red hot sauce, I do not like franks so I used taco bell’s diablo sauce instead, I also added black beans, cumin and flatiron pepper companies Dark & Smokey pepper blend ( 1.5 tablespoons ) and it was really good, then later when I heated up a bowl, I added some taco meat ( ground beef with taco seasoning ) I had in the fridge and it was even better. I didn’t even finish a quarter of it, so I will be enjoying this while watching the St. Louis Blues games this week too Thanks for posting it Becky and LET’S GO BLUES !!
LET’s GO BLUES!!
Sounds delicious!
I threw in a can of black beans and some hot Mexican chili powder and cumin and I absolutely love it! I probably would’ve loved it without the extras because it was so good! Used chili lime redhot sauce and Monterey Jack and cheddar cause it’s what I had. 🙏🏻
Sounds amazing!
Amazing flavor! One of the best mexican corn dips I’ve ever tasted, thank you!
I’m so glad you loved it!
I see it’s 8 servings, but do you know serving size? Or do you know approximate volume of the entire batch? Trying to figure out how much to multiply it by to fill a crock pot for a Mexican food themed party! Thank you
Delicious! I know this is silly but we made too much and have left over – thinking leftover would be great add to a casserole. Any suggestions?
You could try some type of enchilada or taco casserole! What a great idea!!
Could I make this the day before and refrigerate after step 4 then just throw in the oven the day of? Or will that be not as good you think
I think that would work out just fine!!
This dip is amazing! Everyone at our gathering asked for the recipe, which is always a testament to its taste. I did use full-fat dairy products, Del Monte’s fire-roasted corn, and cotija cheese instead of feta as a personal preference—all minor changes that probably wouldn’t affect the overall result. Served with Trader Joe’s Elote Corn Chip Dippers, too. YUMMY. Thanks for a keeper, Becky!
How awesome!! I’m so glad you all enjoyed it!
