Ingredients
Scale
Creamy Base:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) softened cream cheese
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Whipped Component:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) Cool Whip, thawed
Topping:
- 7.6 ounces (215 grams) Reeses Minis, divided (some for mixing, some for topping)
Instructions
- Meticulously chop Reese’s Minis into uniform quarters, separating half for internal mixture and half for decorative topping. Clean knife blade with warm water if pieces adhere during cutting.
- Utilize medium mixing bowl to thoroughly whip softened cream cheese until achieving silky, completely smooth consistency with zero lumps.
- Incorporate peanut butter and vanilla extract into cream cheese mixture, blending until texture becomes uniform and aromatic, ensuring complete integration.
- Gradually introduce powdered sugar while continuously mixing, creating a dense and creamy base. Blend carefully to prevent powdery dispersal throughout workspace.
- Transition to spatula and gently fold Cool Whip into mixture, maintaining light and airy texture without deflating previous volume.
- Delicately integrate reserved chopped Reese’s Minis throughout dip, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor profile in each serving.
- Transfer prepared dip into serving vessel, artfully garnish with remaining Reese’s Minis fragments across surface. Refrigerate approximately 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to harmonize and develop depth.
Notes
- Chill ingredients beforehand to ensure smooth, easy mixing and prevent lumpy texture.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for optimal blending and silky consistency.
- Fold Cool Whip gently to maintain light, airy texture without deflating the mixture.
- Customize by substituting with dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping for vegan option.
