Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

Serving Suggestions

  • Graham crackers
  • Pretzels
  • Cookies (gingerbread or sugar cookies)
  • Fresh fruit like apple slices or strawberries

Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add Sugars and Vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue to beat until all the sugar is fully incorporated and the dip is uniformly smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips or chocolate chunks until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  4. Balance Sweetness: Taste the dip and add a pinch of salt if needed to balance the sweetness. You can also add extra chocolate chips if desired for a richer flavor.
  5. Chill the Dip: Cover the dip and refrigerate for 30 minutes to one hour. Chilling thickens the dip and allows the flavors to meld together for a better taste and texture.
  6. Serve with Dippers: Transfer the chilled dip to a serving bowl. Serve alongside your choice of dippers, such as graham crackers, pretzels, cookies, or fresh fruit. Enjoy this festive and indulgent holiday treat!

Notes

  • For a thicker dip, chill for up to two hours before serving.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and butter for the best creamy texture.
  • Substitute mini chocolate chips with chocolate chunks or white chocolate chips for variety.
  • Optional salt enhances flavor but can be omitted for a sweeter dip.
  • Keeps well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days.
  • Great for holiday parties, cookie exchanges, or as a fun family dessert.
