Brownie Batter Dip
This creamy, spoonable brownie batter dip comes together in about 5 minutes with softened cream cheese, thawed Cool Whip, dry brownie mix, milk, and mini chocolate chips for fudgy chocolate flavor.
Equipment
- large bowl
- Handheld mixer
Ingredients
- 8 Ounce Cream Cheese softened
- 8 Ounces Cool Whip
- 18 Ounce Box Brownie Mix dry
- 2 Tablespoons Milk
- 1 Cup Mini Chocolate Chips
For Dipping
- Graham Crackers
- Pretzels
- Chopped Fruit
Instructions
- Whip the softened cream cheese with a handheld mixer in a large bowl, working out every visible lump. Look for an even, glossy texture before introducing the other ingredients.
- Blend the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese gently. The mixture should become lighter and uniform, with no white streaks or frozen pockets.
- Add the dry brownie mix and the measured milk to the whipped mixture. The powder should remain dry until this stage, with no eggs, oil, or package-directed water added.
- Blend until the chocolate mixture looks uniform, then use a spatula to fold in the mini chocolate chips while keeping some aside for garnish. The finished dip should look creamy and fudgy, with chips spread throughout.
- Finish with the reserved chips and serve, or cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to one day ahead. The freshly mixed dip should hold a soft mound rather than pour like a sauce.
Notes
Ingredient tip: Choose a dry brownie mix explicitly labeled suitable for eating without baking, and leave out the eggs, oil, and water listed on the box.
Texture tip: Beat the softened full-fat block cream cheese until completely smooth and glossy before adding the thawed whipped topping so no white lumps remain.
Troubleshooting: If the dip is too thick for crackers to scoop easily, stir in a small splash of extra milk until it loosens to a scoopable consistency.
Storage: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate up to one day ahead, keeping dippers stored separately; stir before serving and add a small splash of milk if chilling makes it too firm.
