  • Total Time: 2 hours 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup frozen spinach
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, freshly grated Parmesan, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and chopped artichoke hearts until fully combined.
  2. Slow Cook Dip Base: Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker and cook on high for 1 to 2 hours or on low for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and melting of cheeses.
  3. Prepare Spinach: While the dip is heating, allow the frozen spinach to thaw completely. Once thawed, use paper towels to squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible to avoid a watery dip.
  4. Add Spinach and Mozzarella: Once the dip is hot and bubbly, stir in the well-drained spinach and shredded mozzarella cheese. Continue to cook in the slow cooker for another 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the mozzarella to melt.
  5. Keep Warm and Serve: After cooking, set the slow cooker to the warm setting to maintain the dip’s temperature. Serve warm with French bread slices, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach to prevent excess moisture in the dip.
  • For a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper slightly or add a dash of hot sauce.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead of time; refrigerate after step 2 and reheat before serving.
  • If you don’t have a slow cooker, this dip can also be made in the oven at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
