Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Drain the canned hearts of palm and pat them dry. Roughly chop them into small pieces.
In a food processor, combine the chopped hearts of palm, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture until smooth, with a few small chunks of hearts of palm remaining for texture.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and the top begins to turn golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables.
