Ingredients
Scale
Dip Base
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
Sweeteners and Cocoa
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Liquids & Flavoring
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter texture)
- Pinch of salt
Add-ins and Toppings
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Optional Dippers
- Strawberries
- Apple slices
- Pretzels
- Graham crackers
Instructions
- Beat Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Sugars and Cocoa: Add powdered sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder to the bowl. Begin beating on low speed to combine the dry ingredients, then increase to medium speed until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Mix in Liquids: Pour in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and add a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture until fully incorporated and it reaches a thick, creamy consistency, roughly about 1 minute.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips by hand to distribute them evenly without over-mixing.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, sprinkle with extra chocolate chips on top, and serve immediately with your choice of dippers such as strawberries, apple slices, pretzels, or graham crackers.
Notes
- For a lighter dip, substitute heavy cream with milk, but note the texture will be less rich.
- Let the dip chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a firmer texture if desired.
- This dip is best consumed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Mini chocolate chips can be swapped for chopped nuts or other mix-ins if preferred.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for smooth, lump-free blending.
