🥜 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake Dip 🥜
Ingredients
For the dip:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
For garnish:
2 tablespoons melted peanut butter
2 tablespoons melted chocolate
Extra mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and fully combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes using an electric mixer.
Sweeten and Flavor: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat on low speed until the sugar is incorporated, then increase the speed to medium and mix until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the light and airy texture of the dip. Once combined, gently stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Chill: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
Garnish: Drizzle the melted peanut butter and melted chocolate over the top of the dip in a zigzag pattern. For an extra touch, sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips on top.
Serve: Serve the dip chilled with your choice of dippers, such as graham crackers, pretzel sticks, apple slices, or vanilla wafers.
