Ingredients

1 cup heavy whipping cream, very cold

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

A few drops of green food coloring (optional)

3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Mint Oreo cookies, graham crackers, or fruit for serving

Step-by-Step

In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and fluffy.
If you want that iconic minty hue, mix in a few drops of green food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream—handle it with love!
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dip.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of extra mini chocolate chips, if desired.
Serve immediately with Mint Oreo cookies, graham crackers, or fruit for dipping.

What to Serve Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip With

This sweet, creamy dip pairs perfectly with a variety of dippers. Try classic graham crackers for a cozy, buttery bite, or go all in with Mint Oreo cookies for double the minty flavor—guaranteed crowd-pleasers! For something lighter, fresh strawberries and apple slices make an irresistible pairing, balancing the richness with a touch of fruity freshness. Serve alongside bowls of pretzels or vanilla wafers for a sweet-salty twist, and don’t forget a tall glass of cold milk or hot cocoa to wash it all down. No matter what you dunk, your snack platter will be the hit of the gathering!

Top Tips for Perfecting

Use very cold heavy whipping cream for best results; it’ll whip up faster and hold its shape better.
Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
Customize the green color as you wish, or skip the dye for a more natural look.
Try other extracts like orange or almond for a unique flavor twist if you’re feeling adventurous.
Let the dip chill for 30 minutes for even more flavor—though it’s equally delicious right after mixing!
Don’t overbeat the mixture or your dip could lose its light, fluffy texture.
Substitute regular chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars if mini chips aren’t available.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The dip may thicken slightly but will still be delicious and scoopable. Give it a gentle stir before serving again to fluff it back up. Freezing isn’t recommended, as cream cheese mixtures can become grainy after thawing. Since this is a no-bake dip, there’s no need to reheat—simply pull it from the fridge, add fresh dippers, and enjoy! If you’re prepping ahead, assemble the dip and keep it chilled until you’re ready to serve for best freshness.

FAQs

Can I make Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip ahead of time?
Yes! You can make it a day in advance, just keep it covered in the refrigerator. Add extra chocolate chips before serving to freshen it up.

Can I use light cream cheese or a dairy-free substitute?
Absolutely. Light or dairy-free cream cheese will work, though the dip may be slightly less rich.

Is it okay to skip the green food coloring?
Of course! The green is just for fun and presentation; the flavor will be the same without it.

What can I use instead of mini chocolate chips?
Chopped dark chocolate or regular chocolate chips work well if you don’t have minis on hand.

How long will leftovers keep?
Leftovers will stay fresh for up to three days in the refrigerator if stored in an airtight container.
