2. Add and mix the sugars, salt and vanilla

Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, salt and vanilla to the cream cheese mixture.

Mix on low for 30 seconds (watch out – powdered sugar likes to fly!), scrape the sides with a spatula, then mix on medium until smooth.

3. Add and mix chocolate chips

Add chocolate chips and fold into the sweetened cream cheese mixture with a spatula.

You can use the mixer to mix them in but it will break chocolate flecks into the dip, which is fine, just doesn’t look as nice.

4. Serve or Chill

Because the cream cheese and butter have to be softened to mix well, the finished dip will be really soft. You can serve it like that or you can chill it until ready to serve.

If serving the next day, you may want to set it out for about 15 minutes to soften a smidge.

Recipe tips and tricks

  • Make sure that the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature otherwise, the dip will not get smooth. You can microwave each item for about 10 seconds, to help ensure they will mix well but you do NOT want them melted.
  • If the dip is too runny after making, put it in the fridge to set up for about half an hour.
  • This dessert is a great one to make ahead of time. Just take it out of the fridge for about 10 minutes prior to serving.
