Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Dip Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Add the powdered sugar, sour cream, and heavy cream. Beat until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add the Red Velvet Flavor:
- Mix in the cocoa powder, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue to mix until fully incorporated and the dip turns a vibrant red color.
- Optional Add-Ins:
- If you’d like, fold in the mini chocolate chips for a bit of added texture and sweetness.
- Chill the Dip:
- Once everything is well mixed, cover the bowl and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the dip to firm up a little.
- Serve:
- Serve the dip in a festive bowl, topped with sprinkles if desired. Pair it with graham crackers, fruit slices (like strawberries or apple slices), marshmallows, or any dipper of your choice.
- Enjoy:
- Scoop out a bite of this rich and creamy dip, and enjoy the flavors of red velvet cake in every bite!
Notes
- For a fun touch, serve with heart-shaped cookies or red velvet cake pieces for extra red velvet flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker dip, you can reduce the amount of heavy cream.
- This dip is best served chilled, but you can also make it a bit thicker by letting it sit longer in the fridge.
- If you don’t have red food coloring, you can skip it for a white version of the dip or use a few drops of natural beet juice for color.
