- Versatile dippers: Serve with fruit, cookies, or even waffle cone pieces.
- Make ahead: Can be prepped in advance and stored in the fridge.
Ingredients For Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip
- Cream Cheese: Use low-fat or full-fat, whatever you prefer.
- Butter: This helps cut through some of the tanginess of cream cheese.
- Powdered Sugar: To sweeten the dip without a grainy texture.
- Brown Sugar: For just that little hint of nuttiness that makes this taste like brown butter cookie dough. Coconut sugar or maple syrup will work too.
- The basics: Vanilla extract and salt help elevate the other flavors.
- Chocolate Chips: For a little crunch and fun texture. I like to use mini-chocolate chips, but regular or even a chopped-up chocolate bar will work.
Dipper Options
You can enjoy this dip with so many pairings. Here are some popular ones I’ve served.

Recipe Variations

- Make it dairy-free – Use dairy-free cream cheese and butter substitutes.
Step By Step Instructions
- Mix It Together: Beat together the cream cheese and butter, then add the sugars, vanilla, and salt.

How Long Does Cheesecake Dip Stay Fresh?
I don’t recommend freezing it since the texture may change. But you can store it in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. You can also make it up to a day in advance. Just give it a quick stir before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cream cheese and butter usually take 30 minutes to 1 hour to come to room temperature.
Yes, you can use regular chocolate chips, but mini chocolate chips work better as they are distributed more evenly in the dip.
Beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy before adding the other ingredients.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips after the other ingredients are mixed to avoid over-mixing.

Is it supposed to be thin? Mine is kind of more liquid than solid.
No, it should be thick and creamy. I hate that’s happened.

sooo good!
delicious!
try using normal chocolate chips, blending them, and adding the powder in. It is easier to eat because then you do not need to pick up any chocolate chips and they are evenly shared. Just be shure to use half a cup of normal ones if you want it to taste the same.
Such a hit in staff lounge not one chocolate chip was left!!! Highly recommend!!!!
What a great comment! Thanks, Kimberley. And I so appreciate the outstanding rating.

This came together in a snap and tastes delicious! I didn’t have enough chocolate chips so I used 1/3 C chocolate chips, 1/3 C dessicated coconut, and 1/3 C chopped pecans.
Awesome and thanks for the terrific rating!
