Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
- 1 cup spinach, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your dip cooks evenly and gets nice and bubbly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend them together until smooth and creamy. This will be the base of your dip.
- Add the chopped artichoke hearts and cooked spinach to the cream cheese mixture. Make sure the spinach is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined, ensuring that the artichokes and spinach are evenly distributed throughout the creamy mixture.
- Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, reserving a small handful for topping later. This adds a delicious cheesy flavor to the dip.
- Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese over the top of the dip for a cheesy, golden crust.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.
- Once done, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dip is great served warm with low-carb vegetables, pork rinds, or keto-friendly crackers.

Tips
- Prep Ingredients Ahead: To save time, chop your artichoke hearts and spinach in advance. This will streamline the mixing process and make it easier to whip up the dip when you're ready to cook.
- Drain Spinach Well: Make sure to thoroughly drain your cooked spinach to avoid a watery dip. Excess moisture can make the dip less creamy and affect its texture.
- Mix It Up: For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or some chopped jalapeños to the mixture. This can elevate the taste and add a bit of heat!
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Adding a blend of cream cheese and cheddar can give your dip a unique twist while keeping it deliciously creamy.
- Serve with Style: Pair your dip with low-carb veggies like celery, bell peppers, or cucumber slices for a healthy crunch. Alternatively, serve it with pork rinds or keto-friendly crackers for a satisfying snack.
- Leftover Storage: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving again to bring back its creamy texture.
- Garnish for Presentation: Consider garnishing your dip with fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving. This adds a pop of color and freshness that enhances the overall presentation.Enjoy your cooking adventure and savor every bite of this delectable dip!
