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!

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!
Hi there. Your written directions call for an onion, but it’s not listed on your ingredient list. Can you specify what type of onion I should use and how to prepare it? Thanks!
I have 2 tbs of red onion in the ingredients list :)
I just made a vegan version and it came out great!! I just used vegan sour cream, cheese and cream cheese. My non vegan relatives love it too!
How awesome! I’m glad everyone loved it so much!
I had 9, (yes, 9!) people ask me for this recipe after making it for my father-in-law’s birthday party this past weekend. People just stood around this and ate it until it was gone! 10/10 recipe! This is going to become my go-to from now on! So easy, so satisfying!
That makes me so happy! I’m SO glad everyone enjoyed it!!!
Have you ever made this in a crockpot?
I haven’t but I bet it’s still delicious!
Very delicious and fresh tasting
Thank you, Kelly!!
