Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen) Fresh corn is preferred for sweetness.
  • 1 cup cream cheese Make sure it's softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) Use your preferred cheese blend.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise For creaminess; can be omitted.
  • 1-2 pieces jalapeños (diced, optional for heat) Adjust according to your spice preference.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving Squeeze fresh lime over when serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using fresh corn, remove it from the cob. If using frozen corn, ensure it’s thawed and drained.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually fold in the shredded cheese, mixing well to incorporate.
  4. Add in the corn, diced jalapeños (if desired), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Cooking
  1. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
  2. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra punch of flavor!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to a month. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or microwave for convenience.
