Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious dip:
- 6 oz cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 (18 oz) box brownie mix*
- 2–4 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup mix-ins (mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, peanuts, etc.)
Instructions
- Heat-Treat the Brownie Mix
Microwave the brownie mix for 1 minute and 15 seconds. Stop and stir every 15 seconds to ensure even heat distribution. This crucial step eliminates any potential risks associated with consuming raw flour. - Prepare the Base
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until the mixture is soft and fluffy. - Incorporate the Whipped Topping
Add the whipped topping to the cream cheese and butter mixture. Mix until well combined for a creamy consistency. - Add the Brownie Mix
Gradually beat in the heat-treated brownie mix. For a smoother texture, sift the mix before adding it. - Adjust the Consistency
Slowly add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dip reaches your desired creamy texture. - Add Your Favorite Mix-Ins
Stir in your choice of mix-ins, such as mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, or chopped peanuts, for added texture and flavor. - Serve and Enjoy
Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and pair it with dippers like fresh fruit, crackers, pretzels, or cookies.
Notes
Serving Tips
- Ideal Dippers:
Pair your Brownie Batter Dip with a variety of dippers to please everyone’s palate:- Fresh Fruits: Strawberries, apple slices, or banana chunks add a refreshing balance to the rich dip.
- Salty Snacks: Pretzels, salted crackers, or potato chips create a delightful sweet-and-salty contrast.
- Sweet Treats: Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, marshmallows, or biscotti are excellent for satisfying a sweet tooth.
- Presentation:
Serve the dip in a decorative bowl or a small fondue pot to keep it looking elegant. Arrange dippers on a platter around the bowl for an inviting and cohesive presentation. - Temperature:
For the best texture, serve the dip slightly chilled but not overly cold. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.
Storage Tips
- Refrigeration:
Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. - Freezing:
While it’s not typically recommended to freeze this dip due to the cream cheese and whipped topping, you can freeze it for up to 1 month if needed. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and stir well before serving. - Rehydrating:
If the dip thickens after refrigeration, simply stir in a tablespoon of milk at a time until it returns to its creamy consistency. - Food Safety:
Ensure the dip isn’t left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
