Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brownie mix
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Garnish and Mix-ins:
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious mixing bowl and position an electric mixer nearby for efficient blending of the creamy base.
- Combine softened cream cheese and butter, whipping them together until the mixture achieves a smooth, velvety consistency with no visible lumps.
- Gradually sift in the brownie mix and cocoa powder, mixing at low speed to prevent ingredient clouds and ensure even incorporation.
- Introduce powdered sugar and brown sugar, continuing to blend until the mixture transforms into a rich, decadent chocolate-infused cream.
- Fold in vanilla extract and salt, stirring gently to distribute the flavor enhancers evenly throughout the dip.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips – both standard and mini varieties – into the mixture, stirring just enough to distribute them without breaking their delicate structure.
- Transfer the dip to a serving vessel, using a silicone spatula to scrape every last bit of chocolatey goodness from the mixing bowl.
- Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly, creating an ideal texture for spreading or dipping.
- Before serving, let the dip rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften, making it more spreadable and enhancing its creamy consistency.
Notes
- Softening ingredients like cream cheese and butter beforehand ensures a smoother, lump-free texture without extra mixing effort.
- Use a fine-mesh sifter when adding dry ingredients to prevent clumping and create an ultra-silky dip consistency.
- For gluten-free variations, swap traditional brownie mix with a certified gluten-free alternative or use almond flour with cocoa powder.
- Experiment with chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate to customize flavor profiles and create unique taste experiences.
