Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup hot cocoa mix
- 7.5 ounces marshmallow creme
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- Mini marshmallows, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whip Cream Cheese: Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer with a medium bowl, whip the softened cream cheese on medium-high speed until it becomes smooth and fluffy, about 2-5 minutes.
- Incorporate Hot Cocoa Mix: Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the hot cocoa mix in about half-cup increments, mixing until fully incorporated and mostly smooth, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Marshmallow Creme: While keeping the mixer on low, blend in the marshmallow creme until the mixture is well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the thawed Cool Whip. Gently fold it into the mixture using a spatula until no streaks remain, ensuring a light and airy texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the hot chocolate dip to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish the top with mini marshmallows to enhance presentation and add texture.
- Enjoy: Serve the dip with your choice of dippables such as graham crackers, pretzels, cookies, or fresh fruit for a delicious treat.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before whipping to avoid lumps.
- Fold in the Cool Whip gently to maintain the dip’s fluffy texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by choosing a hot cocoa mix with your preferred sugar level.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- This dip pairs well with salty snacks to balance the sweetness.
