Brownie Batter Dessert Dip Recipe

Instructions

1. Prepare the Brownie Mix: Start by placing the dry brownie mix into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mix in 30-second intervals for a total of 2 minutes, stirring between each interval to prevent burning. This step gently heats the dry mix, bringing out the rich chocolate flavor while ensuring that the batter is safe to eat raw. After the final interval, set the brownie mix aside and allow it to cool completely. It’s essential to cool the mix before combining it with the cream cheese to avoid softening or melting the cream cheese.
2. Beat the Cream Cheese: While the brownie mix is cooling, place 8 oz of softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until it is completely smooth and creamy. The key here is to make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature. Cold cream cheese will create lumps, so let it sit out for about 15-20 minutes before starting this step. Once the cream cheese is smooth, you’re ready to add the rest of the ingredients.
3. Mix in the Brownie Mix and Milk: Add the cooled brownie mix and 1/4 cup of milk to the cream cheese. Use your electric mixer to beat the mixture until fully combined and smooth. The milk helps create the desired creamy consistency, and the combination of brownie mix and cream cheese results in a rich, brownie batter-like base. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is incorporated well.
4. Incorporate the Whipped Topping: Once the brownie mix and cream cheese are combined, gently fold in 8 oz of thawed whipped topping using a spatula. This step is crucial for giving the dip a light and airy texture. Be gentle while folding to preserve the fluffiness of the whipped topping, which will make the dip feel lighter and less dense than a traditional brownie batter.
5. Add Chocolate Chips: Finally, fold in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip. The chocolate chips add texture and an extra burst of chocolate flavor in every bite. If you’d like, you can sprinkle some additional chocolate chips on top of the dip for extra visual appeal and flavor. This optional step is perfect for those who prefer a little extra chocolate in every scoop!
6. Serve: Once everything is mixed and the dip is light and fluffy, it’s ready to serve! Spoon the dip into a serving dish and enjoy immediately with your choice of dippers. Fresh fruit such as strawberries or apple slices, graham crackers, or cookies make excellent dippers for this dessert. If you’re not serving the dip right away, cover it and refrigerate until ready to serve. The dip will keep in the fridge for up to 2-3 days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.
