Valentine’s Day Dessert Dip Recipe
Ingredients
- Cream cheese, room temperature – The creamy base that makes this dip irresistible.
- Powdered sugar – For a little sweetness. Feel free to adjust the amount to suit your tastes.
- Vanilla extract – Just a splash is all you need.
- Mini chocolate chips – You could also use full-sized chocolate chips.
- Valentine sprinkles and/or M&Ms – Pure fun and perfect for that festive flare.
Instructions
1. Combine cream cheese, 1 cup mini chocolate chips, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix until well combined. Add 1/2 the sprinkles and stir them in.
As you mix, the color from the sprinkles will bleed into the cream cheese mixture, creating a fun shade of pink.
3. Scoop the dip into a serving bowl and center it on a tray or cutting board.
4. Top the dip with remaining sprinkles.
5. Surround the dessert dip with a selection of fruit and cookies for dipping.
We like to use Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, and apple slices. You could also add strawberries, pears, pretzels, vanilla wafers, and any number of “dippable” snacks!
This easy Valentine’s dessert dip is just as good the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to blend together. In fact, it’s the perfect make-ahead treat for the holiday season!
Tips and Tricks
- Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out for 30 minutes. This makes mixing a breeze.
- Use a stand or hand mixer for the fluffiest texture. The mixing can also be done by hand if you really want to.
- If the sprinkles aren’t enough and you want a more vibrant pop of pink, add a touch of red food coloring to the dip.
- You can make this dip ahead of time and refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Serve it chilled or at room temperature, depending on how you like your dips.
Variations To Try
- Add cocoa powder to create a chocolate Valentine’s dip.
- Add a dollop of marshmallow fluff for extra creaminess.
- Mix in a couple of spoonfuls of Cool Whip for a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Top the dip with chopped pecans, toffee bits, crushed graham crackers, or even Oreo cookie crumbs instead of sprinkles.
- Add peanut butter to the mix for a sweet twist.
- Swap mini chocolate chips for white chocolate or butterscotch chips.
