Jalapeno Artichoke Dip

Creamy jalapeno artichoke dip is a perfect dip to serve at a party or potluck. This recipe can be whipped up in just 10 minutes and makes enough for a crowd and is great served with crackers, pita chips, veggies or toasted french bread.

This is one of those dips that everyone seems to love. It's creamy, full of flavor and has a touch of heat from the jalapenos. It's perfect served cold or hot. 

My daughter had been after me for a while to make this appetizer dip. We would buy artichoke dip from the store from time to time and always loved it. I finally decided it was time to make it ourselves and I'm so glad I did. Not only is this dip really delicious, it's so much cheaper than the small container we would purchase at the store. 

To make the dip

1. Drain a jar of marinated artichoke hearts 
2. Add to a food processor and pules 3-4 times, until just slightly chopped
3. Add cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, jalapenos and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Pulse 5 times. Scrap down sides and pulse an additional 5 times until mixture is well mixed.
4. Remove mixture from food processor and stir in grated parmesan cheese
5. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve

Tips for making the dip

• Make certain cream cheese is at room temperature. If it's cold, it will not blend well
• Start with finely chopped jalapenos and minced garlic. Big pieces will not break down small enough
• Fully drain your artichoke hearts. You do not need to rinse the marinade off the artichokes, just drain off all the excess liquid

To serve cold

To serve this dip cold, simply place in a serving dish and garnish with grated parmesan cheese and a few slices of jalapenos. Serve with crackers, baked pita chips or toasted french bread.

To serve hot

Place dip in a lightly greased baking dish and top with additional parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes until mixture is heated through and brown on the top. Serve with crackers or toasted french bread.
