Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed low carb cookies
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/2 cup of powdered erythritol, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of crushed low carb cookies.
- In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Ensure it is at room temperature for easier mixing. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy.
- Add the sour cream to the bowl with the cream cheese. Continue mixing until the two ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Next, gradually add the powdered erythritol to the cream cheese and sour cream mixture. Mix on low speed to avoid a powdery mess, then increase to medium speed until the erythritol is fully incorporated and the mixture is fluffy.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and mix again until evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Finally, gently fold in the crushed low carb cookies using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want to maintain some texture from the cookies.
- Once everything is combined, taste the dip and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more powdered erythritol, if desired.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, although it can be served immediately if you prefer.
- Serve the Low Carb Cookies and Cream Dip with fresh berries, low carb cookies, or as a spread for low carb snacks. Enjoy your delicious, creamy dessert!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy texture without lumps.
- Mixing Technique: Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Start on low speed when adding the powdered erythritol to prevent a cloud of sweetener from escaping into the air!
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste your dip after mixing. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, feel free to add more powdered erythritol gradually until you reach your desired sweetness.
- Chill for Flavor: While you can serve the dip immediately, chilling it for about 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your dip with fresh berries, low carb cookies, or even use it as a spread for your favorite low carb snacks for an irresistible treat!
