Ingredients Needed for Jalapeño Artichoke Dip

Are you ready to make this easy creamy dip? Just a handful of simple ingredients are needed:

• Marinated artichoke hearts: Drained and chopped artichokes for a chunky texture.
• Parmigiano Reggiano cheese: Grated to add a cheesy kick. Regular grated parmesan cheese works fine here too. Love cheddar cheese? Swap out the parm cheese and add cheddar!
• Cream cheese: For creaminess and richness. Bring cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing.
• Mayonnaise: Adds tanginess. Use a good full fat mayo (like Duke’s).
• Jalapeño Peppers: Finely diced for a hint of spice. Remove all of the seeds before dicing if you don’t want the dip as spicy. Leave a few in if you like. I prefer the taste of fresh jalapeños, but canned jalapeños will work too.
• Pantry Staples: Salt, black pepper and a splash of water.

Variations

• Swap cream cheese for sour cream for a tangier flavor.
• Mix in chopped cooked chicken for a protein packed dip option.
• Try Monterey Jack cheese, Pepper Jack cheese or mozzarella cheese for a different cheesy twist.
• Use plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a healthier option.
• Add red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

How to Make Jalapeño Artichoke Dip

For full recipe details including ingredient measurements, see the recipe card down below. Here are step-by-step instructions for making this easy Artichoke Jalapeño Dip:

Combine Ingredients

Pulse well drained artichoke hearts in a food processor or electric mixer until coarsely chopped.

Next, add Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until blended.

Pro Tip: You may need to add in a splash of water to get things going at first. Make sure to leave the dip slightly chunky, so it has a good texture.

Stir in diced jalapeño by hand for extra heat. Garnish with black pepper and jalapeño slices on top.

Serve with your favorite dippers like tortilla chips, pita chips or fresh veggies like cucumber slices, celery and carrot sticks.

Storage + Make Ahead Directions for Jalapeño Artichoke Dip

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I don’t recommend freezing this dip. The texture changes and separates, and no amount of remixing can get it back to what it was fresh.

To Make Ahead: Prepare the dip a day in advance and store in the fridge.
