Ingredients

Just a few ingredients are needed to make a delicious chocolate chip dip – get our full recipe below, complete with images, pictures, and now a video!!

Delightful and delicious mini chocolate chips, cream cheese, butter, and lots of sugar make this a sweet treat with classic flavors.

• Sugar – You are in luck! This cheesecake dip includes BROWN sugar, which has slightly (very slightly) fewer calories than regular white sugar. Brown sugar tends to be soft, fragrant, and contains some moisture. The main difference between brown sugar and regular sugar is that brown sugar has molasses, giving it that rich, sweet flavor.
• Butter – Always use real butter when making dessert dips
• Regular Cream Cheese – Combining cream cheese in a bowl with other ingredients can take some work, so it’s best if the block of cream cheese is left at room temperature to soften it before making. Just unwrap and let it sit open to soften the cold, hard fridge temperatures. This will make the cream cheese pliable.
• Chocolate Chips – We used full-size chocolate chips (Nestles), but there are a lot of excellent baking chip choices – white chocolate, butterscotch – also, it’s OK to use mini chocolate chips like you would in a cannoli dip or cappuccino dip. As a side note, instead of milk chocolate chips, try white chocolate chips or even folding in crushed-up cookies!

How to make Chocolate Chip Dip

1. Beat the softened cream cheese and butter in a bowl until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla and beat until mixed well.
3. Fold in large chocolate chips with a spatula.
4. Spoon cheesecake dip into a serving bowl and eat immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. If the dip is refrigerated, set it out about 30 minutes before serving so the cream cheese in the dip can soften.
5. Serve with wafer cookies, Graham crackers, animal crackers/cookies, strawberries, or shortbread cookies. Store any leftover dip in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Note that the fridge will harden the cream cheese, and the dip will need to be left out to soften for about 15 minutes to enjoy.

FAQ’s

Here is the recipe if you prefer a chocolate chip cheese ball instead. The main difference is the round shape and chilling the cheesecake dip into a ball.

Aside from sweet cookies, fresh fruits are also a surprisingly great choice for cheesecake dips. Just like our cherry cheesecake dip recipe, cut-up strawberries are excellent as a complementary dipper. We like to serve this chocolate chip dip with something strong, like Graham crackers, animal crackers, or even sugar cookies. Fruit is also a fantastic choice, and apples are easy to dip.

This dip is VERY SWEET. If you are looking for a sweet option that is less indulgent but still just as good, try S’mores Dip, Marshmallow Fruit Dip, Peppermint Fluff, or No Bake Christmas Cookie Dough Dip.

When food is left out, as it often is when serving an easy party dip or appetizer dip, the concern can be the growth of bacteria. While I suspect this dip doesn’t last long, most dips should go back into the fridge by 2 hours.

Dye the dip with green food coloring and add a bit of mint extract. We also highly recommend using mint chocolate chips over regular chocolate chips. The rest of the ingredients remain the same.
