Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz full-fat block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream (adjust as needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Soften the Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter: Ensure the cream cheese and peanut butter are at room temperature for a smooth dip. If necessary, soften the cream cheese in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- Beat the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the Peanut Butter: Add the room temperature peanut butter to the cream cheese and continue beating until fully combined and light, about 1-2 minutes.
- Sift in Dry Ingredients: Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder over the mixture, then mix on low speed until moistened. Increase to medium speed and beat until smooth.
- Introduce Vanilla and Milk: Add the vanilla extract and gradually pour in the milk or cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the dip reaches your desired consistency.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Chill (Optional but Recommended): Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor and texture.
- Serve and Enjoy!: Stir the dip before transferring it to a serving bowl and arrange dippers around it.
