- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety) - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar - 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract - 1/4 teaspoon fine salt - 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips - 1 cup cream cheese, softened - 1/2 cup powdered sugar - 1/4 cup milk (or more as needed for desired consistency) Gather these simple ingredients before you start. The flour needs heat treatment to keep it safe. Softened butter and cream cheese mix well, so let them sit out a bit. The sugars will add that sweet taste you love. Vanilla extract gives it a nice aroma and flavor. Don't forget the salt; it enhances the sweetness. Mini chocolate chips are a fun surprise in every bite. Lastly, milk helps you adjust the dip's creaminess. These ingredients come together for a sweet and creamy treat! {{ingredient_image_2}} - Step 1: Mix cream cheese and butter In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of softened butter. Use an electric mixer to blend them until creamy and smooth. This will form the base of your dip. - Step 2: Add sugars and vanilla Next, add 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Then, pour in 2 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract. Mix everything on medium speed until it is well combined and smooth. - Step 3: Incorporate heat-treated flour Now, take 1 cup of heat-treated flour and add it slowly to your mixture. Use low speed on the mixer to combine it gently. Stop mixing as soon as it is blended. This ensures that the dip stays soft and tasty. - Step 4: Fold in chocolate chips With a spatula, carefully fold in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. This adds a delightful crunch and sweetness to every bite. - Step 5: Adjust consistency with milk If the dip is too thick, add 1/4 cup of milk, one tablespoon at a time. Stir gently until you reach the creamy texture you want. - Step 6: Serve and garnish Spoon the dip into a nice serving bowl. For a pretty touch, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top. This makes it look fun and inviting! Start with room temperature cream cheese and butter. This step helps create a smooth dip. Cold cream cheese can make mixing hard, leaving lumps. For flour safety, heat-treat it. Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake it at 350°F for five minutes. This kills any harmful bacteria. Let it cool before adding it to your dip.
