Mixing Bowl
Hand mixer or whisk
Rubber Spatula
Serving Bowl
- 1 cup Cool Whip thawed
- ⅓ cup hot cocoa mix
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- Marshmallow bits for topping
- Shaved chocolate for topping
- Dippers: cookies graham crackers, sliced apples
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Fold in the Cool Whip and hot cocoa mix until fully combined. Add vanilla if using. The dip should be thick and spoonable.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
Top with marshmallow bits and shaved chocolate.
Serve with cookies, graham crackers, or sliced apples for dipping.
-
Let the cream cheese sit on the counter for a bit so it blends smoothly with the Cool Whip. Cold cream cheese makes the dip lumpy.
-
If the dip feels a little too thick, stir in a splash of milk until it reaches the texture you like.
-
Pop the dip in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes before serving if you want it even fluffier.
-
Different brands of hot cocoa mix vary in sweetness, so taste and adjust if you want it sweeter or more chocolatey.
- I used a serving size of two tablespoons for the nutritional facts.
Storage
- Storage: Keep the dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing this one. The texture gets grainy and watery once it thaws.
- Reheating: No real reheating needed. If it firms up too much in the fridge, just let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes and give it a quick stir.
