Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip
Creamy, rich, and no-bake, this Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip is the perfect quick dessert! Serve with cookies or fruit for a crowd-pleasing treat.
Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this creamy, chocolatey delight:
- 8 oz cream cheese softened: The base for the dip, adding a rich, velvety texture.
- ½ cup powdered sugar: Sweetens the dip without making it grainy ensuring a smooth finish.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract: Enhances the flavors with a subtle hint of warmth.
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips: Perfect for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
- Optional mix-ins: Toffee bits crushed Oreos, or a drizzle of caramel for added flavor.
For Dipping:
- Graham crackers
- Fresh fruit like strawberries or apple slices
- Cookies such as vanilla wafers or chocolate chip cookies
Instructions
Prepare the Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or stand mixer until it’s smooth and creamy. This step ensures a lump-free dip.
Sweeten the Mixture:
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated. This creates the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess.
Add the Flavor:
- Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the dip. The vanilla enhances the flavor, giving it a warm, inviting touch.
Fold in the Chocolate Chips:
- Using a spatula, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix—this helps maintain the texture and keeps the chocolate chips intact.
Chill (Optional):
- If you prefer a firmer dip, refrigerate it for 20–30 minutes. This step is optional but adds a slightly thicker consistency.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and surround it with your choice of dippers like graham crackers, fresh fruit, or cookies.
