Recipe Ingredients + Notes
Canned Artichokes. Choose quartered artichoke hearts in water. The artichokes will be drained before adding them to the Instant Pot.
Chopped Frozen Spinach. You’ll use a 10-ounce package of chopped spinach. It is added to the Instant Pot frozen right from the package! No thawing or other preparation required.
Cream Cheese. Be sure the cream cheese if softened before using. Full fat cream cheese is suggested.
Sour cream. We used regular (full fat) sour cream.
Mayonnaise. We used regular mayonnaise (not low fat).
Green onions (scallions). Sliced green onions will be added (1/4 cup). Approximately 3-4 scallions.
Broth or Stock. Chicken broth (or stock) or vegetable stock or broth can be used. Low Sodium stock is suggested since salt is added to the dip.
Seasonings. Onion powder, garlic powder, salt and ground black pepper. These spices give wonderful flavor to the dip.
Cheese. Shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheeses are used. Normally I would recommend grating the cheese yourself due to the non-caking agent added to prepared shredded cheese.
However in our recipe testing we found prepared shredded cheese melted well into the dip (and will save some preparation time).
Variations
Change up the cheese. Mild cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese can be used instead of the mozzarella or Parmesan for a change of flavor.
Recipe FAQs + Pro Tips
Can this Spinach Artichoke Dip be made lower fat?
To lower the fat content consider swapping in lower fat cream cheese, sour cream and/or mayonnaise. NOTE: we have not tested this recipe with lower fat ingredients.
Can fresh spinach be used?
We recommend using frozen spinach. Fresh spinach would need to be wilted and any liquids rung out before adding to the Instant Pot.
