Ingredients

Scale

Main 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 a hand mixer with a medium bowl, whip the softened cream cheese on medium-high speed until it becomes smooth and fluffy, which should take about 2 to 5 minutes.
  2. Incorporate Hot Cocoa Mix: Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the hot cocoa mix, about 1/2 cup at a time, blending thoroughly to minimize clumps. Continue mixing for about 2 to 3 minutes until the cocoa mix is well incorporated.
  3. Add Marshmallow Creme: Keep the mixer on low speed and blend in the marshmallow creme until fully combined, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Fold in Cool Whip: Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the thawed Cool Whip. Gently fold it into the mixture using a spatula until no streaks remain, preserving the light and airy texture.
  5. Transfer and Garnish: Spoon the hot chocolate dip into a serving bowl and garnish with mini marshmallows if desired to enhance presentation and texture.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the dip immediately with your preferred dippers such as graham crackers, cookies, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before whipping to avoid lumps.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of hot cocoa mix based on your taste preference.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Allow the dip to come to room temperature before serving if refrigerated, to enhance creaminess.
