Do you ever get so obsessed with an ingredient that you can't get enough of it? And you just want to add it to almost anything? Well, lately that's been me. I have been obsessed with grilled (or charred) sweet corn. I love grilled corn, especially when cut off of the cob and added to other recipes. It's fun finding new ways to incorporate this obsession into different dishes.

All the ingredients in this recipe make this dip spectacular!
- Grilled corn - the star! Grilling enhances the sweetness of the corn.
- Cream cheese and sour cream - provide the perfect amount of creaminess.
