  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients:

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/16 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (7-ounce) container marshmallow creme
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag mini chocolate chips

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pretzels
  • Vanilla wafers
  • Fresh fruit such as strawberries, apple slices, or banana pieces

Instructions

  1. Soften the Cream Cheese: Remove the cream cheese from its packaging and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, flip it over, then microwave for an additional 10 to 20 seconds until it is soft but not melted to ensure smooth blending.
  2. Combine Base Ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the softened cream cheese, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Marshmallow Creme: Run a spoon under hot water, dry it, and use it to scoop the marshmallow creme into the mixing bowl. Beat again until the marshmallow creme is fully incorporated into the cream cheese mixture, creating a fluffy texture.
  4. Whip in Heavy Cream: With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Once all the cream is added, increase the speed and beat the mixture until it thickens and soft peaks form. Take care not to overbeat or the dip may become too stiff.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Add the mini chocolate chips to the whipped mixture and gently fold them in using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dip without deflating it.
  6. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for 15 to 20 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly and the flavors to meld together.
  7. Serve: Give the dip a quick stir after chilling and serve it with your choice of dippers such as pretzels, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit for a delicious and easy-to-enjoy dessert.

Notes

  • To soften cream cheese quickly, use the microwave method described, but be careful not to melt it.
  • Vanilla extract enhances the flavor depth of the dip, but pure or imitation both work.
  • Soft peaks mean when you lift the whisk, the mixture holds a peak that gently folds over on itself.
  • Serving suggestions include pretzels and vanilla wafers, which add a nice texture contrast to the creamy dip.
  • This dip should be served within 24 hours of preparation for best texture and flavor.
