Ingredients
You only need a handful of ingredients to make this cheesecake dip. Here’s a list of everything you need:
- Cream cheese – It’s not cheesecake without cream cheese! Use full-fat for the best flavor.
- Unsalted butter – Room temperature mixes better. You want it soft but not melted.
- Confectioner’s sugar – To make it sweet.
- Brown sugar – A key component for more depth.
- Vanilla extra – Just a splash will do.
- Mini chocolate chips – I use semisweet chocolate chips. Dark, milk, and white chocolate work, too. Or mix things up and try something like nuts or M&M’s.

Tips & Tricks
Cheesecake dip is simple and hassle-free. It comes together in minutes and is sure to impress your guests.
If you want to make it top-notch, follow these tips and tricks:
- Get ahead of the game. Make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to four days.
- Softened cream cheese is sensational. Room-temperature cream cheese mixes more easily.
- Go wild with dippers! Graham crackers are a favorite. But you can also serve it with pretzel sticks, fruit, cookies, and more. Your guests will love having options.
- Whip it for a heavenly consistency. Whip the cream cheese until you see peaks. This is the secret to making it light and airy.
- Double your pleasure. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, this dip goes fast. Double the recipe if you’re hosting a large group.
Variations
There are so many fun ways to spruce up this dip. From fruity to chocolatey, you can flavor it any way you like.
Here are some variations to try:
- Caramel pumpkin. Swirl pumpkin puree into the dip and drizzle caramel sauce on top.
- Ice cream sundae. Top it with rainbow sprinkles, chocolate sauce, and a cherry.
- Strawberry. Add fresh strawberries on top. You can also swirl some strawberry sauce into the dip.
- Salted caramel pecan. Sprinkle pecans on top. Then, drizzle the salted caramel sauce on to your heart’s content.
- Candy. Top it off with candy like Reese’s peanut butter cups or M&M’s. Or add seasonal candy for a festive holiday touch.
Favorite Dippers
Like the toppings, there are plenty of tasty tidbits to pair on the side. From sweet to salty, customize the dippers however you like.
