Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Apple slices or graham crackers for serving
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, particularly the cream cheese and peanut butter, to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, mixing on low speed to prevent sugar from flying out of the bowl. Continue mixing until the sugar is fully incorporated and the texture is light and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing until evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the dip. Reserve a few chips for garnishing the top if desired.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for decoration.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to help it set and enhance the flavors.
- Serve chilled with fresh apple slices, graham crackers, or your preferred dipping items.
- Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always use room temperature cream cheese and peanut butter to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- Mixing Technique: Use an electric mixer for the smoothest consistency, and mix on low speed when adding powdered sugar to prevent a messy kitchen.
- Chocolate Chip Hack: Reserve a few chocolate chips to sprinkle on top for a beautiful and appetizing presentation.
- Chill for Perfection: Let the dip rest in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to enhance its flavor and texture.
- Serving Suggestions: While apple slices and graham crackers are classic, try pretzels, banana chunks, or even as a spread on toast for variety.
- Storage Tip: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
