Brownie Batter Dip
This 4-ingredient brownie batter dip uses cream cheese, whipped topping, and boxed mix to create an ultra-fudgy dessert that is ready in just minutes.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 8 oz whipped topping (thawed)
- 7.5 oz brownie mix (half a box)
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat-Treat the Mix: Microwave dry brownie mix in a microwave-safe bowl on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each turn. Once an instant-read thermometer reads 160°F (about 60 to 90 seconds total), let it cool completely.
- Whip the Cream Cheese: Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl on medium-high speed for two minutes until smooth, light, and completely lump-free.
- Add the Brownie Mix: Turn the mixer to low and gradually pour in the cooled, heat-treated brownie mix. Blend until fully incorporated. The mixture will look thick and fudgy.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping: Switch to a rubber spatula and add the thawed whipped topping. Gently fold it into the chocolate base until no white streaks remain.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips: Stir in most of your mini chocolate chips, saving a small handful. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with the remaining chips, and serve.
Notes
- Heat-Treat the Mix: Boxed mix contains raw flour. Microwave it to 160°F so it is completely safe to eat without baking.
- Skip Built-in Chips: Choose a standard fudge mix without chocolate chips inside, as they will melt and clump during the heat-treating step.
- Soften Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is fully at room temperature before whipping to prevent tiny white lumps in your dip.
- Thaw Whipped Topping: Fully thaw your whipped topping in the fridge so it blends easily into the thick chocolate base.
- Fold by Hand: Put the electric mixer away for the final step. Folding by hand keeps the whipped topping fluffy and prevents a runny texture.
- Storage & Serving: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Let it sit on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to restore its scoopable consistency.
