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.
