Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
Sweetening Ingredients:
- 3 cups (360 grams) powdered sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the base by combining softened cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend until the mixture achieves a velvety, lump-free texture.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder into the mixture. Begin mixing at a low speed to prevent cocoa powder from dispersing, then increase speed to create a smooth, homogeneous blend.
- Introduce heavy cream and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Whip at medium speed until the dip reaches a luxurious, silky consistency that’s perfect for dipping.
- Transfer the decadent chocolate dip to a serving bowl. Arrange an array of accompaniments such as fresh strawberries, banana slices, crisp graham crackers, or salty pretzels around the bowl for an irresistible presentation.
- Refrigerate briefly if desired to enhance the dip’s thickness and allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy the rich, brownie-inspired indulgence within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free texture without overmixing.
- Gradually add cocoa powder on low speed to prevent messy powder clouds and ensure even distribution throughout the dip.
- Adjust heavy cream quantity to customize dip thickness – less cream for a thicker spread, more for a lighter, more dippable consistency.
- Experiment with various dippers like marshmallows, apple slices, or cookies to add excitement and variety to your brownie batter dip experience.
