Ingredients

  • 1 package frozen chopped spinach 10 oz, thawed and drained
  • 1 can quartered artichoke hearts 14 oz, rinsed and drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese cubed
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable stock (120 ml)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Thaw the frozen chopped spinach by refrigerating overnight or microwaving for a couple of minutes. Squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Drain and rinse the quartered artichoke hearts thoroughly. Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Cook the Dip

  • Set the Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and heat. Add a small splash of vegetable broth or cooking oil to prevent sticking. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently.
  • Add the cubed cream cheese and vegetable stock to the pot. Stir constantly to soften and melt the cream cheese, creating a creamy base.
  • Add the drained spinach and artichoke hearts. Sprinkle in kosher salt and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine evenly.
  • Layer the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese on top, followed by grated parmesan cheese. Do not stir immediately.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid and seal the valve. Set to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' mode on low pressure for 5 minutes. When finished, perform a quick release to release the pressure.
  • Open the lid carefully and stir the dip thoroughly to combine all melted cheeses with the spinach and artichokes. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dippers.

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Kitchen towel or paper towels

Notes

Drain spinach and artichokes well to avoid watery dip. Use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for richness. Do not skip quick release to prevent overcooking. Customize cheese blends and serve warm. Pair with pita chips, toasted baguette, or fresh vegetables. Variations include adding cooked shredded chicken, increasing spice, trying different cheeses, making it vegan, or adding fresh herbs.
