In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, artichoke hearts, mayo, parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Use a hand mixer to blend together until smooth and incorporated.

Make Ahead and Storage

MAKE AHEAD: Dip can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance.

STORE: Store covered in the fridge until ready to bake. You may need to bake longer if baking straight out of the fridge.

Recipe Tips and Substitutions

Here are a few suggestions to help you customize this dip to fit your tastes. 

• Sprinkle some chopped green onions on top of the baked dip for a pop of color and flavor. 
• You can swap out parmesan for another flavorful cheese, like asiago or pecorino romano. 
• Soften the cream cheese by letting it rest at room temperature before mixing to make it easier to combine with the other ingredients. 
• Do not use pre-shredded parmesan. It can contain anti-caking additives which can cause the dip to be grainy!
