Ingredients

Chocolate Dip Ingredients

  • 6 ounces dark chocolate
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate in a double boiler setup and gently heat it, stirring frequently until fully melted and smooth. If using a microwave, heat in short bursts and stir between intervals to avoid burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Begin mixing on low speed until the sugar starts to incorporate, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Add Milk Gradually: With the mixer still running on low speed, slowly stream in the milk, making sure it is fully incorporated into the cream cheese mixture before adding more, creating a smooth texture.
  4. Combine Chocolate and Cream Cheese Mixture: While the mixer is on low, slowly pour the melted chocolate into the bowl. Once all the chocolate is added, increase the speed back to medium-high and beat for an additional minute until the dip is creamy, uniform, and without lumps.
  5. Serve or Store: The chocolate dip is ready to serve immediately with fresh fruit or can be covered and refrigerated for up to 4 days. Before serving after refrigeration, allow the dip to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften.

Notes

  • For melting chocolate in the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and completely melted to avoid overheating.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and smooth consistency.
  • This dip pairs exceptionally well with strawberries, apple slices, bananas, and pineapple chunks.
  • Refrigerate leftovers promptly and stir well before serving again.
