Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz fresh spinach (about 280 g), chopped and wilted (or 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
  • 14 oz canned artichoke hearts (about 400 g), drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese (225 g), softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120 ml), full fat
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (120 ml), keto-friendly brand
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100 g), freshly shredded
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (50 g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar substitute (like Swerve or erythritol-based sweetener), packed
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using fresh spinach, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then squeeze out excess moisture. If using frozen, thaw and drain well.
  3. Drain and roughly chop the artichoke hearts.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Stir in shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  6. Fold in the spinach and artichokes gently until evenly combined.
  7. Spread the mixture evenly in an 8×8 inch oven-safe baking dish and smooth the top.
  8. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar substitute, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until combined.
  9. Brush the glaze over the top of the dip.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  11. Let the dip cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from spinach to avoid a runny dip. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth texture. The brown sugar glaze adds a subtle sweet contrast but can be omitted or replaced with smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.
