Everyone needs a simple dip recipe in their collection for summer BBQs, picnics or pool parties. This one’s creamy and sweet with just a touch of spice.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz fat-free cream cheese
  • 2 items canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, seeded
  • 3 cup frozen corn kernels, or fresh corn kernels*
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp table salt

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade; pulse a few times, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and process until smooth. To store, spoon into a medium bowl, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days; return to room temperature before serving. Yields about 3 tablespoons per serving.

Notes

  • *When in season, use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor. To remove the kernels, break each cob in half. Stand a half on its flat end and run a sharp knife along the cob, slicing off the kernels.

    We prefer the flavor of this recipe a day after it’s been made. Leave the corn somewhat chunky if you prefer.
