Fully Loaded Cookie Dough Dip: the Party Dessert That Disappears in Minutes is the kind of recipe that rewards a little planning and a few simple technique cues. The texture is somewhere between frosting and raw cookie dough - exactly as irresistible as it sounds. This version is fully loaded: toffee bits, mini M&Ms, and both chocolate chips and chocolate chunks.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup chocolate chunks
- ¼ cup toffee bits
- ¼ cup mini M&Ms
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and butter together until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Don't rush this - lumps at this stage don't smooth out later.
- Add brown sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Fold in chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, and toffee bits by hand. Reserve the M&Ms for topping.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with remaining M&Ms and an extra handful of chocolate chips. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving - the dip firms slightly and the flavours develop.
What to Serve It With Graham crackers are obvious, but the real answer is everything. Waffle cone pieces, pretzels, animal crackers, vanilla wafers, shortbread, and even apple slices all work. For a party spread, set out three or four dipping options in small bowls around the main dip.
