Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- Heart-shaped sprinkles (for garnish, optional)
- Graham crackers, cookies, or fresh fruit for dipping
Instructions
- Make the Base:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer. - Add the Cocoa and Powdered Sugar:
Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to the cream cheese while mixing. Continue mixing until it is fully combined and smooth. - Whip the Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. - Combine:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much, as this keeps the dip light and fluffy. - Add Flavors and Mix-ins:
Stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips, if using. Fold in some mini marshmallows, but save a few for topping. - Chill (Optional):
For best results, chill the dip in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. However, it can be served immediately if needed. - Serve:
Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and top with more mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and optional heart-shaped sprinkles for a festive touch. - Enjoy:
Serve with graham crackers, cookies, or fresh fruit like strawberries or apple slices for dipping. Enjoy this sweet and creamy treat with your loved ones!
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more powdered sugar or cocoa to taste.
- For extra chocolate flavor, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top of the dip.
- This dip can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
