Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
Dippers
- Graham crackers
- Cookies (such as Nilla wafers)
- Fresh fruit (such as apple slices or strawberries)
Instructions
- Beat the base ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture for the dip.
- Add the sugars: Gradually add both the powdered sugar and brown sugar into the cream cheese mixture, mixing just until combined to maintain the dip’s soft consistency without overmixing.
- Incorporate chips and nuts: Fold in the mini chocolate chips and finely chopped pecans (if using), evenly distributing them throughout the dip for a delightful crunch.
- Chill the dip: Refrigerate the prepared dip for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste and dip texture.
- Serve: Serve chilled with graham cracker sticks, Nilla wafers, or fresh fruit for dipping, making it an easy and enticing dessert option.
Notes
- If you prefer a nut-free version, omit the pecans.
- For a dairy-free alternative, use vegan butter and cream cheese substitutes.
- Chilling time can be extended up to 2 hours if desired for a firmer dip.
- The dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Try different dippers like pretzels or pretzel sticks for a sweet-salty combo.
