How To Make Spinach Dip In An Instant Pot
Spinach dip really is as easy as mix and cook - but there are a couple of tips to keep this recipe perfect, every single time you make it.
We prefer using chicken stock instead of water in this recipe - you need a certain amount of liquid in a dish to allow it to seal (the liquid from stock or water is essential or your instant pot won't come to pressure) - but you get more flavor by using chicken stock instead of just water.

Instant Pot Spinach Dip Recipe
Instant Pot Spinach Dip Recipe - delicious cheesy spinach dip loaded with flavor right from the Instant Pot!
Ingredients
- 1 box (10 ounces) frozen spinach
- 1 cup sour cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup water or chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional & to taste
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- Chips, Toasted Baguette, or Crudite, optional-- for serving
Instructions
- Add the frozen spinach, sour cream, cream cheese, water, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes to the Instant Pot.
- Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the “sealing” position.
- Set the timer for 5 minutes.
- When the Instant Pot has finished cooking, release the pressure manually by switching the valve to the “venting” position-- be careful, it will steam and may splatter!
- When the Instant Pot has depressurized, remove the lid. Switch the Instant Pot to the Saute-Normal function. Stir the mixture together— it will look curdled at first, that’s totally normal! Just keep stirring until you get a uniform mixture, about 1 minute.
- Next, stir in the parmesan and mozzarella. Cook until the mixture starts to bubble and has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes.
- This recipe can be made up to an hour in advance and kept warm using the “keep warm” setting on the Instant Pot.
- Garnish with additional parmesan, if desired. Serve with crackers, chips, toasted baguette, or crudite.
Notes
Prep Time: 5 minutes. Cook Time: 5 minutes, not including pressurizing time.
Servings: 4-6 as an appetizer
I’m not a fan of mayonnaise in my spinach dip-- i’ve found that it makes the dip a little too rich but if you’re a mayonnaise fan, feel free to swap out half of the sour cream for mayo!
Add-in options: 8 ounces of quartered jarred artichoke hearts, 8 ounces lump crab meat, or 3 slices of cooked chopped bacon are all delicious options!
This recipe also makes a delicious base for pasta. Add 8 ounces of cooked elbow macaroni when you add in the cheeses and thin as needed with pasta water.
