Key Ingredients for Instant Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
- Garlic
- Water (or Chicken broth)
- Cream Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Mayonnaise
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Shredded Gruyere Cheese
- Frozen Spinach
- Canned Artichoke Hearts
- Kosher Salt
- Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Canned vs. Jarred Artichoke Hearts
When looking for the artichoke hearts, the best version to use for this recipe is the canned artichoke hearts in water or oil. Typically, the jarred artichoke hearts are marinated and will result in a dip that has a marinated tang to it. The plain canned artichoke hearts are what you want.
Frozen vs. Fresh Spinach
Unlike the baked version of this recipe, you can use frozen spinach for this. Additionally, since you will be putting it in the Instant Pot, you can just put the whole frozen chunk of spinach in the pot and cook it like that. This Instant Pot recipe is designed to utilize the extra liquid from the defrosting spinach, so no need to thaw or squeeze dry. We are keeping it simple!
Pre-Shredded Cheese or Freshly Shredded Cheese?
We highly recommend you shred your own cheese for this recipe. Since the cheese an ingredient you want to come forward when you taste it, using quality cheese is important. (Plus, you aren’t adding the anti-caking ingredients that come in most shredded cheeses you buy in the store.) I use a fabulous box grater for this that measures into a cup for you (I will link it below for you.) This way I can shred the cheese, measure simultaneously, and keep my counter clean!
How to Make Spinach Artichoke Dip in Instant Pot
This recipe is incredibly simple. All you need to do is put all your ingredients (except the cheese) in the Instant Pot, cook for 4 minutes, quick release remaining pressure (following manufacturer’s instructions), then stir in the cheese and salt and pepper at the end. That’s it. It is ready in minutes!
How to Serve Instant Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip
How you serve this dip largely depends on how you want to serve it. You can serve directly from the Instant Pot, or spoon it into a couple of bowls for your crowd to then serve themselves from. I typically opt for the second to avoid having a hot Instant Pot in the mix–and it is much prettier in nice bowls.
What to Serve with Spinach Artichoke Dip
Spinach Artichoke Dip is could be considered a ‘most valuable player’ dip. Meaning, you can dress this dip up or down depending on the crowd you are serving to. If it’s a casual event, tortilla chips are great–this is how we typically consume it. If you want something more upscale, you can serve with crostini or even as a dip for a vegetable tray.
Can I Make It Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! Just store your dip in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to three days. Then pop in the microwave to reheat or reheat in a small pan on the range.
Can I Freeze Spinach Artichoke Dip?
Yes. You can freeze this dip for up to 90 days. When ready to use it, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat.
