• Control the Heat: Remove jalapeño seeds for a milder dip or add extra cayenne for more spice.

• Make It Ahead: Prepare in advance and refrigerate; reheat in the oven if serving hot.

• Fire-Roasted Corn Alternative: If unavailable, use regular canned or frozen corn and char it in a dry skillet for a smoky flavor.

Storage Options

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

• Freezer: Not recommended, as dairy-based dips can become grainy when thawed.
