Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz of softened cream cheese
- 8 oz of Cool Whip
- 1 box (18 oz) of dry brownie mix
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 1 cup of mini chocolate chips
- Dipping Options: Pretzels and assorted chopped fruits
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese: Start by placing the softened cream cheese in a large bowl. Using a handheld mixer, beat it on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy with no lumps. (Tip: if your cream cheese isn’t fully softened, it can cause lumps, so let it sit out for about 30 minutes before starting.)
- Add the Cool Whip: Next, spoon in the Cool Whip and mix until it’s fully incorporated. This will give the dip a fluffy, airy texture that’s so satisfying to dip into.
- Mix in the brownie mix and milk: Pour the dry brownie mix and the milk into the bowl. Start the mixer on low to prevent the powder from flying everywhere, then gradually increase the speed. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. If you like a thicker dip, you can skip adding more milk.
- Fold in the chocolate chips: Using a spatula, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top for garnish. This step adds a fun texture and extra chocolatey flavor to each bite.
- Serve and enjoy! Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with the reserved chocolate chips. You can serve it immediately or cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. It can be made up to a day ahead, which makes it perfect for parties.
Notes
This dip is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in the fridge if you make it ahead of time. Just cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and it will keep well for up to 24 hours.
When you’re ready to serve it, give it a quick stir to refresh the texture. This dip doesn’t freeze well, as the cream cheese and whipped topping can separate when thawed, so it’s best to enjoy it within a day of making.
