Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This creates a ganache base.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the cream cheese, beating on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar (if using). Beat until the dip is completely smooth, creamy, and resembles brownie batter.
- Serve immediately while warm, or chill for 30 minutes for a thicker consistency.
Notes
- For a perfect dipping chocolate that hardens, use only chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil; skip the cream cheese and cream. Melt together and use for coating strawberries or pretzels.
- Serve this dip with fresh strawberries, apple slices, marshmallows, graham crackers, or salty pretzels.
- If the dip becomes too thick after chilling, microwave it for 10 seconds to restore a softer texture.
