How to make Instant Pot spinach artichoke dip

Visit recipe card below šŸ‘‡šŸ¼ for printable amounts and instructions

  1. Add all ingredients (except Jack cheese and Parmesan cheese) to the Instant Pot. Note: it's fine to add a frozen block of spinach ... no need to thaw first.

  3. Release remaining steam, open lid, stir in cheeses, remove dip from heat source, and devour.

Can I use frozen spinach for Instant Pot Spinach Dip

You sure can and there's no need to thaw it! You can use a 10 oz spinach block or use the loose, frozen spinach in a bag. Either way, there’s no thawing, rinsing, or squeezing the water from it. Just drop it in and let the Instant Pot do the rest!

How to make spinach dip in the Instant Pot using pot-in-pot method (also called PIP)

This method is not required for spinach artichoke dip, but here are a few reasons why you would use the smaller pot A) to serve it from the dish used to pressure cook it; B) to accommodate scaling down the recipe; or C) to melt cheese over the dip in the oven after pressure cooking it. Here's how to use pot-in-pot:

  1. Add 1 cup of water and a trivet to the Instant Pot.
  2. Combine dip ingredients and pour into a separate heat-safe dish (like this 7” aluminum cake pan).
  3. Place the cake pan on the trivet in the cooker and proceed with the recipe to pressure cook the dip and depressurize the pot.
  4. After safely opening the lid, carefully transfer the dip dish outside of the Instant Pot and serve.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Pressure cook time: 4 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 8 (1/2 cup) servings
Author: Traci - TheKitchenGirl.com

Ingredients

  • 14 oz can Quartered Artichoke Hearts drained, reserve brine
  • 9 oz pkg Frozen Spinach same as 2 1/2 cups loose frozen spinach
  • 8 oz pkg Cream Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 4 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese 4 oz shredded
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese 2 oz

RECIPE VIDEO

Recipe Instructions
 

  • Place ARTICHOKES and FROZEN SPINACH (no need to thaw) in the Instant Pot. Pour in 1/4 cup of the reserved ARTICHOKE BRINE or preferred liquid.
    Note: If using pot-in-pot method, see recipe footnotes for instructions.
  • Place CREAM CHEESE, MAYONNAISE, SOUR CREAM, and GARLIC on top of the spinach and artichokes. Add SALT and PEPPER.
  • Secure the lid, turn pressure valve to “Sealing” and select “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” on HIGH for 3 minutes.
  • When cooker is done, allow the pot to sit undisturbed for a 10-minute natural pressure release (NPR).
    Then flip the pressure valve to the "venting" position and release any remaining steam.
  • Open the lid, stir in JACK CHEESE and PARMESAN CHEESE until smooth and creamy. It will be very creamy and fluffy. *see footnote for stretchy cheese
  • Press the "cancel" button to terminate "keep warm" mode to prevent overcooking the dip. The constant heat can make the creamy texture become lumpy.

Serving and Storage and Reheat Instructions

  • Warm dip can be enjoyed immediately with bread, crackers, vegetables, or chips...or from a spoon šŸ˜‰
  • To serve cold, allow to cool, then refrigerate until chilled through, and serve. Note: texture will be firm.
  • Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days or freeze up to 30 days.
  • To reheat, stir in small amounts of reserved ARTICHOKE BRINE (or any preferred liquid) to adjust consistency, if desired. Reheat dip over medium heat on the stove or medium-high in the microwave until warmed through, stirring as needed.

RECIPE NOTES

Spinach artichoke dip texture
This spinach artichoke dip is very creamy and fluffy. If you want it to have a stretchy cheese consistency, add more jack cheese before serving OR use mozzarella cheese in place of jack cheese.
You can also sprinkle cheese on the top and broil the dip a few minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
If you want the artichoke dip thinner, add a splash of reserved artichoke brine to adjust constistency.
Substitutions
If you don't want mayonnaise or sour cream in this dip, you can use either interchangeably, or replace either (or both) with Greek yogurt or other dairy products of choice.
Pot-in-Pot Method (also called PIP)
This method is not required for spinach artichoke dip, but here are a few reasons why you would use the smaller pot A) to serve it from the dish used to pressure cook it; B) to accommodate scaling down the recipe; or C) to melt cheese over the dip in the oven after pressure cooking it. Here's how to use pot-in-pot:
  1. Add 1 cup of water and a trivet to the Instant Pot.

    I’m confused and have two questions. 1) Do we put a trivet and pan inside? It mentions that in the article, but not the recipe. 2) Do we chop up the artichoke hearts? What about if we use fresh so snack? Chop that?

      Hi Kristal, thanks for asking šŸ™‚ 1) You only use a trivet and pan if you're using the pot-in-pot method. I just edited the recipe notes to include those instructions. 2) If using whole canned artichoke hearts, I would quarter them. I would not use fresh artichoke hearts for this recipe as they will not cook properly in this recipe. Let me know if you have further questions. Enjoy!
