Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 40 grams Dutch-process cocoa powder (sifted, 1/2 cup)
  • 30 grams all-purpose flour (sifted, 1/4 cup)
  • 210 grams powdered sugar (sifted, 1 3/4 cups)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 52 grams brown sugar (packed, 1/4 cup)

Dairy

  • 160 milliliters heavy whipping cream (cold, 2/3 cup)
  • 226 grams full-fat cream cheese (softened, 8 ounces)

Flavoring

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Serving

  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips
  • Cookies, strawberries, pretzels, or other dippers

Instructions

  1. Heat Dry Ingredients: Whisk the sifted cocoa powder and flour together in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until it reaches 165°F (74°C), about 1.5 to 2 minutes total. Let it cool completely.
  2. Whip Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream with a hand or stand mixer whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Transfer half to a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese and Powdered Sugar: In the same mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sifted powdered sugar using beaters or a paddle attachment until fluffy and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Dry Mix and Flavorings: Add the cooled cocoa-flour mixture, kosher salt, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat for another 2-3 minutes until very light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Then, stir in the brown sugar gently, just until combined to avoid dissolving it fully.
  5. Fold in Whipped Cream: Using a rubber spatula, fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate-cream cheese mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream gently until the dip is smooth, fluffy, and no streaks remain.
  6. Serve: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips. Serve immediately with cookies, strawberries, pretzels, or other favorite dippers. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the cocoa and flour mixture is fully cooled before mixing into the cream cheese to prevent curdling.
  • Do not overmix after folding in the whipped cream to keep the dip light and airy.
  • Brown sugar adds a subtle texture and caramel flavor; avoid dissolving it fully.
  • Dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for the best creamy texture and flavor.
