To enjoy this street corn dip, you can heat it gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, it can be heated in a microwave-safe dish in short intervals, stirring between each, until it reaches your desired temperature. For a baked version, transfer the dip to an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until bubbly. It is delicious served with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
