Ingredients List
-
For the Dip:
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup flour (heat-treated to ensure it’s safe to eat raw)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1-2 tablespoons milk (for a thinner consistency)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. This forms the base for your dip.
Step 2: Add the Sugars and Vanilla
Add powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix everything until well combined and smooth. You should have a fluffy, creamy texture.
Step 3: Mix in the Dry Ingredients
Slowly add the flour and a pinch of salt into the mixture. Stir until fully incorporated. The flour gives the dip the texture of cookie dough, making it deliciously thick. If the dip seems too thick for your liking, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 4: Stir in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. This gives the dip the signature cookie dough texture and burst of chocolatey goodness in every bite.
Step 5: Chill
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and help the dip firm up for the perfect scoopable consistency.
Step 6: Serve
Once chilled, serve the dip with graham crackers, pretzels, fruit, or cookies. This dip is perfect for dipping, and its creamy, sweet flavor is irresistible!

Additional Notes & Tips
-
Heat-Treated Flour:
It’s important to heat-treat the flour before using it in this dip. To do so, simply spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches 160°F. This step ensures the flour is safe to eat raw, making the dip totally edible without worrying about any potential risks. -
Sweetener:
Adjust the sweetness of the dip according to your preference. You can use more or less sweetener, depending on how sweet you want the dip to be. For a lower-calorie version, you can use a sugar-free sweetener, such as stevia or monk fruit, in place of the sugar. -
Add-ins:
Get creative with your dip! Add some crushed nuts like walnuts or pecans, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to give the dip a twist. You can also mix in some mini M&Ms or other candy pieces for extra fun.
FAQs
Can I use a different sweetener instead of powdered sugar?
Yes, you can use any sweetener of your choice. For a lower-carb or keto-friendly version, opt for powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener to keep it sugar-free.
Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Absolutely! This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The longer it chills, the better the flavors meld together!
Can I freeze the dip?
While this dip is best served fresh, you can freeze it for up to a month. Just allow it to thaw in the fridge before serving. Keep in mind that the texture might change slightly upon thawing, but it will still be delicious.
