    Ingredient notes

    Labeled ingredients needed to make a cream cheese and chocolate chip dessert dip on a counter.
    What you need to make Chocolate Chip Dip.

    This recipe works best when the Lucerne® Butter and Cream Cheese are at room temperature. Make sure you plan ahead and set them out ahead of time.

    Signature SELECT® Mini Chocolate Chips are the perfect way to add crunch and your favorite chocolate flavor to this dessert.

    Signature SELECT Powdered Sugar and O Oraganics® Brown Sugar give this just the right amount of sweetness.

    Then you need a little vanilla and salt and you're set!

    Step-by-step instructions

    1. Cream the butter and cream cheese

    (LEFT) To the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter and cream cheese.

    (RIGHT) Mix well until smooth and creamy, approximately 1 minute.

    You can substitute a large bowl and hand mixer if you prefer.

    2. Add and mix the sugars, salt and vanilla

    Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, salt and vanilla to the cream cheese mixture.

    Mix on low for 30 seconds (watch out - powdered sugar likes to fly!), scrape the sides with a spatula, then mix on medium until smooth.

    3. Add and mix chocolate chips

    Add chocolate chips and fold into the sweetened cream cheese mixture with a spatula.

    You can use the mixer to mix them in but it will break chocolate flecks into the dip, which is fine, just doesn't look as nice.

    4. Serve or Chill

    Because the cream cheese and butter have to be softened to mix well, the finished dip will be really soft. You can serve it like that or you can chill it until ready to serve.

    If serving the next day, you may want to set it out for about 15 minutes to soften a smidge.

    How to serve

    Serve this yummy dip with fresh strawberries, Signature SELECT Graham Crackers, pretzel rods, brownie bites and store-bought sugar cookies from the Albertsons bakery.

    Recipe tips and tricks

    • Make sure that the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature otherwise, the dip will not get smooth. You can microwave each item for about 10 seconds, to help ensure they will mix well but you do NOT want them melted.
    • If the dip is too runny after making, put it in the fridge to set up for about half an hour.
    • This dessert is a great one to make ahead of time. Just take it out of the fridge for about 10 minutes prior to serving.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can you use regular chocolate chips?

    Regular-sized chocolate chips will overpower the other flavors. The ratio of cream to chocolate is perfect with the mini chips.

    How do you store this dip?

    Store this dip in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

    How long will this dip last?

    In an air-tight container in the fridge, this dip should stay fresh for about 3 days.

    Make it feel like a party

    Fresh roses and bright accents make it feel stylish.

    Debi Lily Design bouquets are beautiful. I was obsessed with the look of this rose bouquet so I grabbed a Debi Lily vase that I already had to display it since it was a perfect size.

    A bought a gorgeous purple-y pink limited edition Illusion vase to add color and hold a simple bunch of greenery. Paired with the Color Meaning Candle, it added the perfect vibrant touch.

    I wish you could smell this candle through the screen! The scent is 'Sunrise Mimosa' and it might be one of the best-smelling candles I've ever had.
