What Makes This Recipe Great
I love versatile recipes that are budget-friendly, easy to make, and loved by all! This Chive and Onion Cream Cheese Corn Dip is just the perfect recipe that ticks all of those boxes.

In just 10 minutes, you’ll have a creamy, flavorful skillet corn dish that serves well as a dip or a side– whichever you prefer! Serve with a sliced baguette or tortilla chips, and enjoy!
Ingredient Notes
Frozen Corn: This recipe is super easy to make with frozen corn. Frozen corn is super budget friendly and easy to keep on hand!
Butter: You can also use vegan butter to make this dip dairy-free.
Cream Cheese: Use your favorite brand. I typically prefer Philadelphia’s chive & onion version. If dairy-free, use Kite Hill’s chive and onion cream cheese alternative.
Heavy Cream: If you need this to be dairy-free, Silk makes an excellent non-dairy heavy cream replacement that works super well!
Salt/Pepper: Season to taste.
Fresh Chives: I like to put fresh chives on top for garnish. This is optional.
Recipe Step by Step
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter and corn. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until corn has cooked through.
- Add in the cream cheese and heavy whipping cream until combined. Allow it to simmer for 4 minutes until the cream cheese is melted and warm.
- Season with salt and pepper and garnish with fresh chives.
