Total Time
- 10 minutes
Servings
- 6–8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Step 1: Soften the Cream Cheese and Butter
- Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature. This will make mixing easier and result in a smoother dip.
Step 2: Mix the Base
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the brown sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Beat on low speed at first to avoid a sugar cloud, then increase the speed and mix until fully combined and fluffy.
Step 3: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula. This ensures they’re evenly distributed throughout the dip without breaking them.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional mini chocolate chips on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
- Serve immediately with graham crackers, pretzels, apple slices, or cookies for dipping.
