Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or milk, for a lighter texture)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Dippers
- Strawberries
- Apple slices
- Pretzels
- Graham crackers
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and butter: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add sugars and cocoa: Incorporate the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder by beating on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Mix in vanilla, cream, and salt: Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture until it’s fully incorporated and reaches a thick, creamy consistency, about 1 minute.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips gently by hand with a spatula to preserve their texture.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top, and serve immediately with your choice of optional dippers such as strawberries, apple slices, pretzels, or graham crackers.
Notes
- For a lighter texture, substitute heavy cream with milk.
- Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to make mixing easier and achieve a smooth dip.
- This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving for best texture.
- Feel free to experiment with different dippers like cookies or crackers according to your preference.
