What Makes This Recipe Better? 

Dips are often associated with mayonnaise, cream or heavy sauces. While there's nothing wrong with enjoying them occasionally, making your own dip at home gives you much more control over the ingredients. 

This version uses milk and cheese to create its creamy base, with cornflour helping achieve the right consistency. 

Sweet corn and capsicum add texture, colour and flavour, while black pepper, Italian herbs and chilli flakes bring a delicious savoury kick. 

The biggest Prolicious upgrade comes from what you dip into it. 

Instead of regular chips, we're pairing the dip with Prolicious Protein Karare Peri Peri, turning a simple cheesy dip into a more protein-focused snacking combination.

Why This Recipe Stands Out 

Creamy without complicated ingredients 

The combination of milk, cornflour and cheese creates a smooth, creamy dip without needing an elaborate sauce. 

Vegetables in your snack 

Sweet corn and capsicum add texture and colour while making the dip more interesting than a plain cheese dip. 

Protein-packed pairing 

Pairing the dip with Prolicious Protein Karare Peri Peri adds a protein-focused element to your snack. 

Perfect balance of flavours 

Sweet corn, creamy cheese, spicy chilli flakes and peri peri crunch come together for a snack that hits all the right notes.

Ingredients You'll Need 

For the Cheesy Corn & Capsicum Dip 

• Sweet corn – 1 cup 
• Capsicum, finely chopped – ½ cup 
• Butter – 1 tbsp 
• Milk – ½ cup 
• Cornflour – 1 tsp 
• Grated cheese – ½–¾ cup 
• Black pepper – ½ tsp 
• Italian herbs – ½ tsp 
• Chilli flakes – ½ tsp 
• Salt – to taste 

To Serve 

• Prolicious Protein Karare Peri Peri – as required 

Step-by-Step Method 

Step 1: Sauté the Corn & Capsicum 

Heat 1 tbsp butter in a pan. 

Add the sweet corn and finely chopped capsicum. 

Sauté on medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

You want the vegetables to soften slightly while retaining some of their natural crunch. 

Once done, remove them from the pan and keep aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Base 

In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp cornflour with ½ cup cold milk. 

Whisk well until there are no lumps. 

Transfer the mixture to a pan and cook on low flame, stirring continuously. 

As it heats, the mixture will gradually begin to thicken.

Step 3: Add the Cheese & Seasonings 

Once the milk mixture has thickened slightly, add ½–¾ cup grated cheese. 

Mix everything together until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. 

Keep the flame low to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.

Step 4: Add Up it

Add 1 scoop of prolicious up it and kix well 

Step 5: Serve with Protein Karare 

Transfer the hot dip into a serving bowl. 

Arrange Prolicious Protein Karare Peri Peri around it and serve immediately. 

Dip, crunch and enjoy! 

The creamy cheesy dip paired with the spicy peri peri Karare makes every bite deliciously addictive.

Tips & Variations 

For the Perfect Dip 

• Always mix cornflour with cold milk to prevent lumps. 
• Cook the sauce on low flame for a smooth consistency. 
• Add cheese only after the milk mixture has thickened slightly. 
• Adjust the cheese quantity depending on how rich you want the dip. 
• Serve hot for the best creamy texture. 

Adjust the Spice 

If you prefer a milder dip, reduce the chilli flakes. 

For extra heat, add more chilli flakes or a pinch of peri peri seasoning. 

Since the Protein Karare Peri Peri already brings a spicy kick, taste the dip before adding extra spice. 

Add More Vegetables 

You can also add finely chopped: 

• Jalapeños 
• Spring onions 
• Carrots 
• Mushrooms 
• Spinach 

Just make sure the vegetables are finely chopped so they mix easily into the dip.

Storage 

This dip tastes best when served fresh and hot. 

If you have leftovers, allow the dip to cool and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 

Reheat gently on low flame before serving. You may need to add a small splash of milk while reheating if the dip has thickened. 

For the best crunch, always serve the Protein Karare fresh and separately, rather than mixing them into the dip in advance.

When to Have It / How to Use It 

This cheesy dip makes an excellent snack for: 

• Evening cravings 
• Movie nights 
• Weekend snacking 
• House parties 
• Game nights 
• Kids' snack time 
• Get-togethers 
• Festive entertaining 

You can also use the dip as a topping or spread for wraps, sandwiches and toast.

FAQs 

Can I make this dip without cornflour? 

Yes, although cornflour helps thicken the milk and gives the dip its creamy consistency. If you skip it, the final texture may be thinner. 

Can I use other vegetables? 

Absolutely. Mushrooms, jalapeños, spring onions, carrots and spinach can all work well. 

Can I make the dip less spicy? 

Yes. Reduce or skip the chilli flakes. The Protein Karare Peri Peri already provides a spicy element. 

Can I prepare the dip in advance? 

You can prepare it a little ahead of serving, but it is best enjoyed warm. Reheat gently before serving. 

What makes this snack protein-focused? 

The pairing of the cheesy dip with Prolicious Protein Karare Peri Peri adds a protein-focused component to the snack. The exact protein content of the serving will depend on the quantity of dip and Karare consumed. 

Can I use this dip with something other than Protein Karare? 

Yes! While Protein Karare Peri Peri makes a delicious crunchy pairing, you can also use the dip with vegetables, toast or other snacks.

Smart Takeaway
