Sweet Corn Dip

Makes Makes 2.5 Cups By Sobey's

Ingredients:

• 3 corn cobs
• 1 pkg (250 g) Light cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 red pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped chives
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper
• 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) each salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Cook corn cobs in a large pot of boiling water until tender, 4 to 6 min. Reserve 3 tbsp (45 mL) cooking water, then drain corn. Once cooled, cut kernels from cob. Place about 1/3 of kernels in a blender along with 2 tbsp (30 mL) reserved cooking water. Blend until a thick purée forms, adding remaining water if needed.
2. Beat cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer (stand or hand-held). Gradually beat in corn mixture until combined. Stir in remaining whole kernels, red pepper, chives, cayenne, salt and pepper.
