Easy Chocolate Dip
This chocolate dip is an easy dessert, made with just 3 ingredients and is ready in 5 minutes. It’s smooth, creamy, and perfect for dipping strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, pretzel rods, and cookies.
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- MIX: In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix together 2 cups of semi-sweet chips and 1 cup of evaporated milk.
- MICROWAVE: Microwave mixture for 30 seconds; stir. Keep repeating the process until chocolate melts and is smooth.
- SWEETEN: Once dip is smooth and stirrable, add 1 cup of powdered sugar. Stir well. If needed, microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
Notes
- Initial Consistency: The dip will look thin at first but thickens to a perfect consistency as it cools on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Make-Ahead Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Chilled Serving Tip: The dip solidifies when cold. Let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes before serving to soften it back up.
- Prevent Scorching: Microwave in short 30-second intervals and stir well between rounds to keep the chocolate from burning.
- Use Powdered Sugar Only: Stick to powdered sugar; regular granulated sugar will not dissolve and will leave the dip grainy.
-
Will Not Harden: This recipe is designed to stay soft and scoopable. It will not harden or snap to make traditional chocolate-covered strawberries.
