Dip Ingredients
- 1 package softened cream cheese (8 oz)
- 1/2 cup softened salted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
For Serving
- Cookies for dipping (e.g., graham crackers, Nilla wafers, pretzels)
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese: Use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter and cream cheese in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Sugars: Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and brown sugar to the creamed mixture. Continue mixing until all the sugars are well incorporated and the mixture becomes fluffy.
- Add Vanilla and Chocolate Chips: Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly. Then gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate it until fully chilled and set, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve cold with your choice of cookies, pretzels, or fruit for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- The dip can be made a day ahead and refrigerated to save time.
- For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped nuts or using nut-based cookies for dipping.
- Keep the dip refrigerated when not serving to maintain freshness and texture.
