Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip
If it sounds ridiculously sweet and god-blessedly yummy, that's because it is. It's also simple and a crowd pleaser (if you like that kind of thing).
Personally, I've always kind of shied away from the sweet or desert dips, happy to keep my appetite focused on cheesy queso, savory spinach, and the classic chip&dip/salsa routine. But I've seen the light with this number.
Now don't go expecting me to get all gushy about a fruit/yogurt dip next. I've still got snack time priorities.
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip
I was introduced to this bit o' sin by pameLaLaLa during a Crafturday (Saturday craft day). This sweet concoction provided me with the energy to make sense of all those tiny beads and baubles.
The original recipe makes a lot. Good if you have hungry crafters sucking up all the caffeine and chocolate from your home, quite another thing if it's just a few friends. For you're sake and the sake of your waistline, I'm providing you with the halved recipe.
- 1 c. (1 block) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 c. whipping cream
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla
- 1/8 c. dark brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips
- Cream the cream cheese and whipping cream together.
- Add vanilla; mix. Add brown sugar and cinnamon; mix.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
Serving suggestions: Nilla wafers, graham crackers, angle food cake squares.
