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.
