Introduction

Brownie Batter Dip is a rich and creamy treat that tastes just like brownie batter but is safe to eat raw. It’s perfect for parties or a fun dessert dip served with your favorite dippers.

A bowl filled with smooth, thick chocolate mousse topped with small dark chocolate chips in swirled patterns sits at the center of a white marbled surface. Surrounding the bowl, there is a mix of crunchy light brown pretzels with a shiny texture, soft golden brown graham crackers standing upright, fresh red strawberries with bright green leaves, and round beige chocolate chip cookies with visible dark chocolate pieces embedded. The arrangement shows layers of different textures and colors from the creamy mousse in the middle to the crisp snacks and fresh fruit around the edges. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Gather all ingredients and make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Step 2: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Step 3: Add the powdered sugar, flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Beat until the dip is smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl, optionally top with mini chocolate chips, and serve with your favorite dippers like graham crackers, fruit, or pretzels.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and real Dutch-process cocoa powder.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder for a unique twist.
Substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option, but cream cheese should be dairy-free as well for a full dairy-free dip.
Use gluten-free flour to make this dip suitable for gluten-sensitive guests.

Storage

Store any leftover brownie batter dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes and stir gently to soften. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.

How to Serve

A small white bowl filled to the brim with a thick, smooth, and glossy layer of dark chocolate mousse, swirled on top with an uneven textured surface. Scattered across the mousse are several small, shiny dark chocolate chips. Around the bowl on a white marbled surface, there are fresh whole strawberries with green leaves, halved strawberries showing their red, juicy inside, light brown pretzels, rectangular brown graham crackers, and some loose chocolate chips creating a casual arrangement.
