Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons milk (or more as needed)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

I start by beating the softened cream cheese and butter together in a large mixing bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.

Then I add in the powdered sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. I beat everything together until it becomes light and fluffy.

I fold in the mini chocolate chips by hand to keep them from breaking apart.

Once it’s ready, I transfer the dip to a serving bowl and like to sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top.

I serve it with pretzels, graham crackers, fresh fruit, or cookies—it’s hard to go wrong.

Variations

I sometimes swap the mini chocolate chips for chopped dark chocolate or white chocolate chips for a twist.

For a minty version, I add a drop of peppermint extract.

I’ve also mixed in a swirl of peanut butter or Nutella for extra richness.

If I want it lighter, I use low-fat cream cheese and reduce the butter slightly—it’s still delicious.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Before serving again, I let it sit at room temperature for about 15–20 minutes so it softens up. If it’s too firm, I stir in a splash of milk to loosen it. This dip doesn’t need reheating, but it should always be kept chilled between uses.

FAQs

How do I make this dip thicker or thinner?

If I want it thicker, I reduce the amount of milk or add more powdered sugar. To thin it out, I stir in a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the consistency I like.

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, I often make it a day in advance and store it in the fridge. I just give it a good stir before serving and maybe top it with more chocolate chips to refresh the look.

Is this safe to eat since it tastes like raw brownie batter?

Absolutely! Since there are no eggs or raw flour in this dip, it’s completely safe to eat as-is. It has all the flavor of brownie batter without any of the risks.

Can I use a dairy-free alternative?

Yes, I’ve made this with vegan butter and dairy-free cream cheese, and it still turns out creamy and delicious. Just make sure the texture is soft enough to whip.

What are the best dippers for this recipe?

I love serving this with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, strawberries, and apple slices. Sometimes I even go all-in and use brownie pieces or chocolate chip cookies!

This Brownie Batter Dip is my go-to dessert when I need something quick, indulgent, and sure to please a crowd. It brings the best of brownie flavor in a creamy, dreamy dip that I can make in minutes. Whether I’m hosting or just treating myself, it’s always a hit—and once I try it, I’ll find myself coming back to it again and again.
