Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure mint extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Start by letting your cream cheese sit at room temperature until it’s soft and easy to mix—this ensures a smooth, lump-free dip.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy. Then gradually add powdered sugar and blend until fully combined and creamy.
- Add Flavor: Pour in the mint extract and vanilla extract, folding gently to evenly distribute the refreshing flavor and depth.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold whipped cream or Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture to lighten the texture and add airy volume.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Finally, fold in mini chocolate chips, making sure they’re spread evenly throughout the dip to guarantee every bite is sprinkled with chocolate delight.
Notes
- Choose full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor; avoid low-fat options.
- Ensure cream cheese and whipped topping are at room temperature to blend smoothly without lumps.
- Adjust mint extract gradually to suit your taste, as it is very potent.
- Refrigerate the dip for at least an hour before serving to let flavors meld and texture firm up.
- Use mini chocolate chips for even distribution and chocolate crunch in every spoonful.
