Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring (or more for deeper color)
- 1/2 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh strawberries, cookies, or graham crackers for dipping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and red food coloring. Mix until everything is fully combined and the dip has a smooth, velvety texture.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the dip becomes light and fluffy.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more powdered sugar.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, and garnish with mini chocolate chips, if desired.
- Serve immediately with fresh strawberries, cookies, or graham crackers for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you want to make this dip dairy-free, you can substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use coconut whipped cream instead of regular whipped topping.
- You can make the dip a day ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days, which allows the flavors to meld together even more.
- For extra flavor, you could add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dip, or sprinkle some red velvet cake crumbs on top for garnish.
