Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2–3 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • Extra mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings for garnish


Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, creating a creamy base for the dip.
  2. Add Flavorings and Color: Stir in the peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring if using, mixing thoroughly until the flavor is evenly distributed and the dip is tinted a festive green color.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping to keep the dip light and airy while fully incorporating it into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Mix in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dip for delightful bursts of chocolate in every bite.
  5. Chill and Garnish: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings on top for garnish, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the texture set.
  6. Serve: Serve chilled alongside chocolate graham crackers, cookies, pretzels, or fresh fruit slices for dipping.

Notes

  • Adjust the peppermint extract carefully, starting with less as it has a strong flavor that can easily overpower the dip.
  • For a richer texture and taste, consider substituting homemade whipped cream for the store-bought whipped topping.
  • Chilling the dip improves its texture and enhances the flavor melding; allow at least 30 minutes.
  • This dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
