Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or milk, for a lighter texture)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Dippers

Instructions
- Beat Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add Sugars and Cocoa: Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Beat on low speed until combined, then increase to medium until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Mix in Liquids: Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture until fully incorporated and the dip reaches a thick, creamy consistency, about 1 minute.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, gently stir in the mini chocolate chips by hand to evenly distribute them throughout the dip.
- Serve: Transfer the brownie batter dip to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with extra mini chocolate chips on top for garnish. Serve immediately with your choice of dippers like strawberries, apple slices, pretzels, or graham crackers.
Notes
- For a lighter dip, substitute the heavy cream with milk.
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for an easy, smooth mixing process.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Bring the dip to room temperature before serving if refrigerated, to enhance its creamy texture.
- This dip pairs well with a variety of fresh fruits and crunchy snacks.
