Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Dippers
- Graham crackers
- Sliced apples
- Mini pretzel twists
Instructions
- Mix Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, and pure vanilla extract together until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Combine Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until the dip is smooth and fluffy, taking care not to deflate the folding too much.
- Integrate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dip to distribute them nicely.
- Chill: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate it for at least two hours to allow the dip to set and the flavors to meld together before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free dip.
- Sifting powdered sugar helps prevent any lumps and ensures a silky texture.
- For a thicker dip, you can refrigerate it overnight.
- Use fresh apple slices for dippers to avoid browning; toss them in lemon water if needed.
- Store any leftover dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond butter for a slightly different flavor profile.
