Chocolate cream cheese dip ingredients
You’ll need: cream cheese (or coconut cream), yogurt or nut butter (optional), pure vanilla extract, a sweetener of your choice, and cocoa powder or boxed brownie mix.
This recipe is naturally gluten free and can be made low-calorie, low-carb, or keto-friendly by using erythritol or another sugar-free sweetener and unsweetened yogurt. For a dairy-free or vegan version, use vegan cream cheese or coconut cream plus plant-based yogurt.
If you don’t have cocoa or boxed brownie mix, hot chocolate mix can also work. Combining unsweetened cocoa with Dutch-process cocoa gives a deeper, more brownie-like flavor.
Chocolate protein brownie batter dip
To make a higher-protein version, swap equal amounts of chocolate protein powder for the brownie mix or cocoa powder. You can also fold in a few tablespoons of peanut butter or almond butter for extra flavor and texture.
For a lighter, fruit-forward snack, serve the dip with raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or apple slices instead of cookies.

How to make brownie batter dip
Bring the cream cheese or coconut cream to room temperature so it mixes easily. In a food processor, blender, or with hand beaters, combine all ingredients and beat until thick and smooth. Since this is a no-bake dip, overmixing is not a concern.
Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish if desired, and serve with your choice of dippers. The dip can be refrigerated, covered, for up to four or five days. Freezing is not recommended, as it will change the texture.
What to dip in the recipe?
Popular dippers include pretzels, graham crackers, strawberries, apple slices, and bananas. It’s also delicious spread on pancakes or enjoyed straight from the bowl with a spoon. For garnish, try mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, caramel pieces, or marshmallows.
