Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup milk (plus more if needed for consistency)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish (Optional)
- Mini chocolate chips
- Crushed peanuts
Instructions
- Combine base ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, and softened butter with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add dry ingredients: Mix in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder thoroughly until fully incorporated and the dip has a uniform chocolate-peanut butter color.
- Adjust consistency: Gradually pour in the milk and vanilla extract while continuing to beat. Add more milk one tablespoon at a time as needed until you reach your desired creamy and spreadable consistency.
- Garnish: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle mini chocolate chips or crushed peanuts on top if desired for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy the dip immediately with dippers such as apple slices, pretzels, graham crackers, or cookies for a delicious snack or party treat.
Notes
- If the dip is too thick, add a bit more milk to loosen it up.
- For a healthier version, substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt and use natural peanut butter.
- This dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving for easier dipping.
- Try different garnishes such as crushed pretzels or shredded coconut for variation.
