Equipment

  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • 1 Rubber spatula
  • 1 set measuring cups
  • 1 set measuring spoons
  • 1 serving bowl
  • 1 Plastic wrap or lid

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 0.75 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips plus extra for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the softened cream cheese and softened butter in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
  • Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the bowl.
  • Beat again on low speed at first, then increase to medium until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  • Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and fold the mixture together.
  • Add the mini chocolate chips to the bowl.
  • Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dip until evenly distributed.
  • Transfer the chocolate chip dip to a serving bowl.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid.
  • Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to chill and firm slightly before serving.
  • Remove from the refrigerator, garnish with extra mini chocolate chips if desired, and serve with dippers such as graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or apple slices.

Notes

For best results, ensure the cream cheese and butter are truly room temperature so the dip turns out smooth without lumps, and sift the powdered sugar to avoid clumps and grittiness. If the dip is too thick after chilling, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes and stir before serving; if it feels too loose, chill it longer. You can adjust sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar to taste, and swap in dark or milk chocolate chips, toffee bits, or chopped nuts for variation. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and stir briefly before serving again to restore the creamy texture.
