    My Favorite Kitchen Tools for This Recipe

    You don’t need anything fancy, but a few trusty tools make this process a breeze. You’ll want a good mixing bowl set for combining the filling and a reliable mini muffin tin to create the perfect little cups.

    Tips, Tricks, and Fun Variations

    This is a super forgiving recipe, so feel free to make it your own!

    • Squeeze Out That Spinach! This is the most important tip. You really have to squeeze every last drop of water from the thawed spinach. I usually grab handfuls and wring them out over the sink like I’m mad at them. A drier spinach means a richer, creamier dip that won’t make your wontons soggy.
    • Add some protein for a heartier bite. A cup of shredded rotisserie chicken or canned lump crab meat folded into the filling is divine.
    • Like a little kick? A dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes will wake up all the flavors.
    • If you have leftover filling (lucky you!), it’s amazing slathered on crackers or stuffed into a chicken breast.

    The Best Ways to Serve These Little Bites

    These dip cups are the star of any appetizer spread. I love to arrange them on a platter with a variety of other easy finger foods, like these simple Air Fryer appetizers. They pair wonderfully with a light, crisp salad if you’re turning them into a light meal. For a real crowd-pleasing menu, serve them alongside my favorite Buffalo Chicken Dip.

    Your Spinach and Artichoke Dip Questions, Answered

    Can I make these spinach and artichoke cups ahead of time?

    You can absolutely prep ahead! Assemble the cups and keep the filled muffin tin covered in the fridge for up to 8 hours before baking. You might need to add a minute or two to the baking time since they’ll be going in cold.

    How should I store any leftovers?

    Leftovers? I’m impressed! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or toaster oven for the best texture—the microwave can make the wontons a little soft.

    Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

    You can! Simply wilt about 10 ounces of fresh spinach in a pan, let it cool, and then wring it out just as thoroughly as you would the frozen kind. It’s a great way to use up that fresh spinach lingering in your fridge.

    My cream cheese is cold and lumpy. Help!

    No worries! Letting your cream cheese come to room temperature is key for a smooth filling. If you’re in a hurry, you can gently soften it in the microwave in 15-second bursts at low power. For more kitchen hacks, check out my guide on saving kitchen disasters.

    A Little Story From My Kitchen

    This recipe became a permanent fixture in my entertaining playbook a few Christmases ago. I was hosting my entire family, and my niece, who famously hated “green things,” cautiously tried one. Her eyes got wide, and she immediately asked for another. Now, she requests them every time she visits. It just goes to show that the right recipe can turn even the pickiest eater into a fan.

    So there you have it. These Spinach and Artichoke Dip Cups are more than just an easy appetizer; they’re little vessels of joy that bring people together. They’re the perfect combination of creamy, crunchy, and utterly satisfying. I hope they become a beloved favorite in your home, creating happy memories and empty plates around your table, too.
