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!
I hope this Hot Mexican Street Corn Dip Recipe makes an appearance at your Cinco de Mayo celebration. It’s so addicting and popular that I recommend you make a double batch!
Mexican Street Corn was just made to be baked in the oven with lots and lots of cheese. Just trust me on this one!

We LOVE this dip! It’s been our new favorite this fall. I use cojita cheese and put all ingredients in my smaller crockpot. I start it on high for an hour or so , then move to low for a couple hours—- stir again well then put on warm. Works great. Everything melts together wonderfully!

Looks delicious, Ruth!
Did you just add all ingredients into your crockpot, or did you still use blender? Thank you in advance for letting me know!
Christa you don’t have to use the blender put all in the crockpot at once on high for an hour then low for 2 hours
Can this be made ahead of time? And can it be eaten room temp?
Yes, you can absolutely make this ahead of time. Bake, let it cool, then refrigerate until you’re ready to serve (up to 2 days). You can either reheat it in the oven to serve hot, or serve it cold straight from the fridge. Since it’s filled with dairy ingredients, you’ll want to be careful about leaving it out at room temp for too long. But as long as it’s back in the fridge within a couple of hours, it’s fine to eat lukewarm/room temp.
How many ppl will this recipe work for?
This recipe generously serves 8 as written. In the recipe card, there is a slider to adjust the number of servings up or down to suit your needs!
If I were using fresh corn from the cob, how many ears would you suggest?
I would recommend 6 or 7 ears!
I would not change a thing and i am not into spicy but this was just the right amount not too much.
So glad you enjoyed it, Claire!
Made this for a potluck and it was a hit. Got lots of compliments. I used cotija. It really reminded me of elote from the corn man! My observation for anyone wanting to try it: it’s hard to blend all that cheese! I had to keep adding milk for it to move. I think I added a total of 1/4 cup milk. I had some Velveeta leftover so I tossed it in there too. Unfortunately, I did not transfer to a crock pot so the cheese hardened up after about 1 hr. Will add to recipe box though.
Thanks for sharing, Penny!
My husbands 2 favorite things are corn and anything spicy. He absolutely LOVES this!
I’m not much on spicy but with pita chips it calms down the spicy.
Thanks for sharing, Tabitha!
Not a hit at the Super Bowl party….sorry, Becky.
I am sorry this didn’t work out for you!
Could I make this in a slow cooker?
You can give it a shot!
Lol. I see that I missed the pepper directions for the jalepeno. Never mind!
