My Famous Chocolate Dip, But Make It Vanilla
This Chocolate Dip is one of the most loved dips on my site, so it felt about time to share a vanilla version.
This chocolate chip dip is just as straightforward, just as satisfying, and totally reliable for when I want something fun to set out while hosting. Even if there’s no party, I’ll still put it out with a platter of dippers for my family. (My kids think dessert dips are the most fun thing ever!)
It also comes together so fast. Add everything to a bowl, mix, and it’s ready!
I personally love this dip with cookies and fruit, but there are so many fun options for dipping. I hope you love it as much as my family does!
Ingredients In My Chocolate Chip Dip
| Ingredient | Tip |
|---|---|
| Cream Cheese | Use full fat, brick-style cream cheese for the best and creamiest texture. Make sure it’s fully softened so the dip stays smooth. |
| Marshmallow Creme | Scoop with a spoon dipped in hot water so it slides out easily and blends in better. |
| Heavy Cream | Beat just until soft peaks form. Overmixing can cause the cream to separate and turn grainy. |
| Vanilla Extract & Salt | I use imitation vanilla in this dip because it doesn’t have the alcohol bite that pure vanilla can have in no bake recipes. A tiny pinch of salt balances the sweetness. |
| Mini Chocolate Chips & Brown Sugar | Mini chips distribute better in every bite. A little brown sugar adds subtle depth and warmth. |
