Ingredients for Mint Chocolate Dessert Dip
This section includes ingredient notes and substitution options. Get all measurements, ingredients, and instructions in the printable recipe card at the end of this post.
- Cream cheese – Soften the cream cheese at room temperature before beginning.
- Confectioners’ sugar – Also known as powdered sugar, this sweetens the dip, giving it a cheesecake flavor without leaving gritty granules behind.
- Mint extract – Gives the dip its mint flavor. Look for “Mint Extract” rather than “Peppermint Extract” as peppermint is stronger and has a bit of a different flavor.
- Green gel food coloring – I prefer to use gel food coloring as it is much more vibrant and concentrated than liquid food coloring, so you’ll only need a few drops.
- Whipped topping – I use Cool Whip, which will need to be thawed completely. You could also make homemade stabilized whipped cream using heavy whipping cream if you prefer.
- Mini chocolate chips – Keep some extra for garnish.
How to Make Mint Cheesecake Dip
This section shows you how to make the recipe with step-by-step photos and instructions. For the full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.
Step 1: Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth.
Step 2: Mix in the powdered sugar, mint extract, and food coloring. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula and mix until smooth and combined.
Pro Tip:
Start with a few drops of green food coloring. You can go a little darker at first because the Cool Whip will lighten it up. However, don’t go overboard; it’s easier to add color than to remove it.
Step 3: Fold in the whipped topping and chocolate chips.
Step 4: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and sprinkle with extra chocolate chips on top! Enjoy with cookies, fruit, and other fun dippers.
Storage
Refrigerator: Keep mint chocolate chip dip stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Recipe Tips
- Be sure to gently fold in the Cool Whip and chocolate chips. Do not overmix; otherwise, the dip will no longer be fluffy.
- Softening the cream cheese will help ensure it mixes evenly without leaving clumps of cream cheese mixed in your dip.
- You can prepare this dip up to 2 days in advance. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to serve it. Give it a stir and sprinkle with extra chocolate chips before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dip with things like fresh strawberries, apple slices, Graham crackers, animal crackers, pretzel sticks, Oreo cookies, mint Oreos, pretzels, jumbo marshmallows, and Nilla wafers.
Mint chocolate chip cheesecake dip is just one of many possible treats you can have on your dessert table. That’s what’s so great about easy desserts—you have the time to make more than one!
Serve them alongside Funfetti dip and a tray of other mint desserts like Ritz cracker thin mints and grasshopper cookies.
