Dunk your way into a winning appetizer with a crowd-friendly recipe for Hot and Creamy Artichoke Dip.
Few appetizers can top the classic combination of garlic, two cheeses and artichoke hearts that join forces to make the ultimate Hot and Creamy Artichoke Dip. It’s cheesy, warm and can be prepped a night in advance, making it the ultimate entertaining recipe. What’s not to love?
When chopping jalapeños, you can control the heat based on whether you keep or toss the seeds. More seeds = more spice! Just be sure to wash your hands well to remove those spicy oils, and whatever you do, keep those digits away from your eyes.
Using a food processor makes this Hot and Creamy Artichoke Dip come together in a flash. And be sure to save some artichokes to fold in for a touch of texture in every bite.
Serve this Hot and Creamy Artichoke Dip with crispy baguette toasts, fresh veggies, or my mom’s favorite, Fritos. Any way you serve it, I guarantee this make-ahead snack will welcome everyone to The Clean Plate Club!

Love reading this, Pat! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipes!
Very nice recipe. We have to try. So easy, flavorful and delicious.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed it!
This dip was delicious with just the right amount of heat from the jalapeños. Will be making this again. Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Beth. And thank you so much for rating it!
I also omitted the jalapenos – unfortunately, the heat doesn’t fare well in my house and I was hesitant. Can anyone tell me how spicy the dip is when they are added? I would like to give it a shot, and maybe cut back on the amount if needed.
The jalapeno hardly addS any heat at all, AS LONG AS THE SEEDS ARE REMOVED. I leave maybe a quarter of the seeds in and it’s still only mild-medium spicy.
So true! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jack!
This dip is amazing. The second time I made it, I added spinach, green onions and mozza cheese (instead of Parmesan). I enjoy recipes that are relatively versatile so that I am able to substitute ingredients based on what I have in my kitchen, or to tailor ingredients to meet guests’ preferences. It went well with pita bread and tortilla chips – I will need to try french bread next. It is wonderful to be able to make it in advance too. It’s super quick and easy to prepare. Goodbye store bought dips!! Thank you for the recipe.
The description says 3 types of cheese.. Is an ingredient
missing?
I can’t wait to make this for my friend grant!! Sounds delicious
