Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup hot cocoa mix
  • 7.5 ounces marshmallow creme
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
  • Mini marshmallows, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whip cream cheese: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer with a medium bowl, whip the softened cream cheese on medium-high speed until it becomes smooth and fluffy, about 2 to 5 minutes.
  2. Incorporate hot cocoa mix: Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly blend in the hot cocoa mix, about 1/2 cup at a time. Continue mixing until the hot cocoa mix is fully incorporated and there are minimal clumps, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add marshmallow creme: While keeping the mixer on low speed, add the marshmallow creme and blend until fully combined, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Fold in Cool Whip: Remove the bowl from the mixer. Add the thawed Cool Whip, then gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until the mixture is uniform and there are no streaks.
  5. Transfer and garnish: Transfer the prepared hot chocolate dip to a serving bowl. Optionally garnish the top with mini marshmallows for an extra festive touch.
  6. Serve: Serve the hot chocolate dip with your favorite dippers like graham crackers, cookies, or fresh fruit and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese at room temperature for smooth blending and a lump-free dip.
  • For best results, fold in the Cool Whip gently to maintain the fluffy texture of the dip.
  • Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 days; give it a gentle stir before serving if refrigerated.
  • Mini marshmallows make a cute topping but are optional depending on your preference.
  • This dip pairs excellently with graham crackers, pretzels, fruit slices, or cookies for dipping.
