Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Garnish/Topping:
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp marshmallow bits
Instructions
- Prepare a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese, whisking until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar, stirring continuously to create a uniform, velvety texture without clumping.
- Sift unsweetened cocoa powder directly into the mixture, blending thoroughly to ensure an even, rich chocolate color and flavor.
- Pour milk and vanilla extract into the bowl, gently folding until all ingredients are perfectly integrated and the consistency becomes light and spreadable.
- Transfer the luscious chocolate dip to a serving dish, using a spatula to create an elegant, swirled surface.
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and marshmallow bits generously across the top, creating a visually appealing and textural garnish.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and achieve a firmer consistency.
- Serve cold with an array of dipping options like graham crackers, fruit slices, or pretzels for a decadent treat.
Notes
- Whip cream cheese at room temperature to ensure a silky-smooth base without lumps, preventing grainy texture.
- Sift cocoa powder carefully to eliminate clumps and distribute chocolate flavor evenly throughout the dip.
- Adjust milk quantity for desired thickness, adding more for a lighter consistency or less for a thicker spread.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, allowing flavors to develop and intensify in the refrigerator.
