The 3 Creamy Ingredients You Need For Delicious Corn Dip
BY JOHN TOLLEY
Corn dip is perfect when you're in need of something hearty and rich that will satisfy the soul. To elevate it, all you need is cream cheese, half-and-half, and feta cheese.
Half-and-half, with its luxurious creaminess, imparts a rich, velvety texture, and brings a subtle dairy sweetness that matches well with the natural sugars in the corn.
The cream cheese offers a tangy note that balances the sweetness. Its creamy consistency perfectly complements the half-and-half and adds body to the finished product.
Feta, the salty brine of the trio, adds sharpness and an exciting punch. Its unique characteristics leave a lingering, savory impression that's truly unforgettable.
Feel free to experiment with other substitutions and additions. Swap half-and-half for heavy cream for a richer dip, or use a salty aged cheese in place of feta.
If you're looking to take a cultural detour, try imparting a Mexican flair with lime juice, mayonnaise, and paprika for an elote-style corn dip. The possibilities are endless.
