Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 8 oz. Philadelphia cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins & Serving

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (mini chocolate chips work well too)
  • Wafer cookies, graham crackers, animal crackers, strawberries, or shortbread cookies for serving

Instructions

  1. Soften Ingredients: Pull the butter and cream cheese from the refrigerator, open their packaging, and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Softening these ingredients ensures they mix smoothly without lumps.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a perfect base for the dip.
  3. Add Sugars and Vanilla: Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue to beat until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is homogeneous.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the large chocolate chips into the mixture using a spatula to evenly distribute them without breaking.
  5. Transfer to Serving Bowl: Spoon the chocolate chip dip into a serving bowl. You can serve it immediately or cover and refrigerate it until ready to serve.
  6. Bring to Serving Temperature: If refrigerated, set the dip out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the cream cheese to soften, ensuring an easy-to-dip texture.
  7. Serve with Dippers: Offer the dip with wafer cookies, graham crackers, animal crackers, fresh strawberries, or shortbread cookies for dipping.

Notes

  • For softer dip texture, allow the dip to warm slightly at room temperature before serving.
  • Mini chocolate chips work great for more evenly distributed chocolate flavor.
  • Feel free to experiment with different dippers such as pretzels or apple slices for variety.
  • Make ahead and refrigerate the dip up to 24 hours for convenience.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the powdered sugar slightly to taste.
