👩🏻‍🍳Expert Cooking Tips

Start with softened cream cheese

I suggest pulling your cream cheese an hour before you plan to make the dip. You should be able to gently press a thumb into the brick of cream cheese and leave a thumbprint.

Don’t skip draining the spinach

I prefer draining my spinach by wrapping the thawed spinach in paper towels and squeezing out the liquid. Some people prefer to lay the brick of thawed spinach on a few paper towels and let it drain on its own. The choice is yours.

Either way, you do not want to skip draning the frozen spinach. Otherwise, you will end up with wattery spinach artichoke dip.

💭Recipe FAQs

What to serve with spinach artichoke dip?

Baby carrots
Celery sticks
Blue tortilla chips
Sliced sourdough bread
Pita chips

How do you thicken spinach artichoke dip?

If your artichoke dip is too thin, whisk in a tablespoon of cornstarch to the dip while its still hot. It will thicken as it cools down. You can also use tapioca starch in place of the cornstarch.

Why is my artichoke dip watery?

Make sure to start with drained and dry ingredients. Artichoke dip is typically wattery if the artichoke hearts are not drain properly or if the frozen spinach is not drained well.

Notes

To drain the frozen spinach: Defrost the spinach and then wrap it in several layers of paper towels. Squeeze out the water by wringing the spinach like a towel. Repeat several times. 
If the dip comes out too watery, whisk in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch into the hot dip. It will thicken as it cools.
For best results, start with softened cream cheese. 
Refrigerate any uneaten portions for up to 3 days. May be frozen for up to 3 months.
