Chocolate cream cheese dip ingredients
You will need the following: cream cheese or coconut cream, optional yogurt, pure vanilla extract, sweetener of choice, and cocoa powder or boxed brownie mix.
The easy recipe is already naturally gluten free. It can easily be low calorie, low carb, and keto friendly if you use erythritol or your favorite sugar free sweetener and unsweetened yogurt.
For a dairy free and vegan brownie batter dip, use Vegan Cream Cheese or the coconut cream option and plant based yogurt.
If you don’t have regular cocoa powder or boxed brownies on hand, hot chocolate mix will also work. Or try using a combination of unsweetened cocoa powder and Dutch cocoa powder for a deep chocolate brownie-like flavor.
Chocolate protein brownie batter dip
Want a high protein, healthy brownie batter dip? Simply substitute an equal amount of your favorite chocolate protein powder for the brownie mix or cocoa powder.
You can also whip in a few tablespoons of peanut butter or almond butter if desired.
Skip the cookies for dipping, and instead try serving the healthy snack recipe with raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and apple slices.

How to make brownie batter dip
Bring the cream cheese or coconut cream to room temperature so it’s softer and much easier to mix with the other three ingredients.
In a blender or food processor, or with hand beaters, beat all ingredients until thick and smooth. Since you are not baking the dessert, no need to worry about over-mixing.
Transfer to a bowl, decorate with dippers as desired, and serve. Or cover and refrigerate overnight or until ready to serve at an event. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to about four or five days.
While you technically can freeze leftover brownie dip, it will change the creamy texture. So I do not recommend it. Besides, it is highly unlikely you will have any leftovers!
What to dip in the recipe?
Try pretzels, graham crackers, strawberries, apples, or sliced bananas.
It’s also wonderful spread over pancakes or eaten straight from the bowl with a spoon.
Traditionally, chocolate brownie batter dip is often topped with M&Ms, caramel pieces, or marshmallows. I like to garnish mine with mini chocolate chips.
Using a food scale
If you like using gram measurements instead of cups, here are the amounts:
240 grams of cream cheese or coconut cream, 160 grams of yogurt or additional coconut cream, 7 grams of vanilla, 27 grams of cocoa, and about 160 grams sweetener.
Or if you prefer using measuring cups, the full recipe is written out below.
The recipe was adapted from my Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls
I’ve made this several times before and LOVE IT! It was inspired by your cookie dough dip, of course. Except I don’t use any nut butter, omit the milk, and double the cocoa powder for an extra thick and super chocolately treat. Yummmm… best eaten straight up with a spoon in my opinion!
Double the cocoa powder. Now you’re talking!
I have been looking at your website off and on for probably over a year at this point for healthy ideas, but this is the first recipe I have actually tried to make. It turned out great! At first I didn’t think my food processor (I have a ninja) was going to blend it, but then I walked away for a few minutes and it was done! My boyfriend tolerated it as well although he referred to it as “chocolate hummus” … lol. Thank you for the recipe!!!
OF COURSE! and always… especially when its your recipes! 😀
Ooooh, yum!! My husband asked me to make ‘that yummy chickpea chocolate chip dip’ again, so I’ll surprise him with this even chocolatier version, and maybe top it with some fresh raspberries from the garden just for fun. 🙂 You’re genius!
Raw cookie dough and brownie batter = absolutely yes! I quite often only cook half of any cooke recipe I make, saving the rest of the batter for snack time! sometimes I’ll even freeze raw cookie dough – for some reason it tastes even better when frozen.
So good! I could totally see this on a crusty piece of baguette sprinkled with a little sea salt for a savory and sweet dessert.
The question should be “do you ever NOT eat the batter when baking” – LOL!
Ooooh – brownie batter with beans!! I’m in heaven 🙂
OMG I have to try this! You are a genius lady! Now I don’t have to feel guilty about downing a whole bowl of brownie batter 😀
Love it! You should try it with black beans too! It’s also amazing! 🙂 I am so glad you experimented with making this one! I secretly had to try making it with black beans when I was craving brownies, it’s one that can get addicting.
I will have to try your black bean idea!
I made this last night with navy beans and ate half with a spoon lol. Had more this morning on top of blueberry pancakes 🙂
I love eating raw dough. It’s probably the best part of baking and the part i look forward to the most! Also, i know what your talking about when it doesn’t yield as much :/ frustrates me sometimes lol.
Oh… My… CHOCOLATE! (“OMC”? Why does that sound better than the sometimes-annoying “OMG”? Maybe because it involves chocolate…) You’ve done it now. 🙂 I don’t know about you, Katie, but I think you should patent these “__ batter dips”. They’re just too awesome. Well, I love the chocolate chip cookie one, so I bet this one’ll be just as amazing.
Love eating the raw dough and batters when I bake! I seem to taste-test as I go for almost all recipes, though [unless it’s a cover + don’t-touch-until-it’s-fully-cooked type recipe]…
Oh my chocolate? New favorite phrase!
I am thinking this is AMAZING! great for dipping strawberries in! yum!!!!!!!
love you! U never cease to amaze me with recipes that are yummy and easy! U rock! xoxo <3
