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 love all these dips and so do my kids!!
I was wondering…..have you tried making a coconut flavor using coconut butter instead of nut butter? Or a banana nut? Or Butterscotch? Or pumpkin pie?
Just wondering…..I’m thinking of doing some experimenting but you are the Queen of chickpeas I feel like you may have better luck than me! 😉
I tried the snickerdoodle dip with coconut butter. It was just as delicious as the regular snickerdoodle dip… but honestly it didn’t taste much different!
I used this Brownie Batter recipe but used one T of PB (in case I needed it for texture) then 3T of coconut butter. I replaced the vanilla extract with coconut extract then added a half cup of toasted coconut. All I had on hand was sweetened but I only had to use 5T of brown sugar in the recipe. I think it turned out pretty good! Hard to keep my fingers out of it…..
This was my first attempt at making anything “vegan,” and let me just say – I’m hooked! My husband and I think this tastes great! We’ve renamed it “Chocolate Hummus” at our house, and will be taking it to a Super Bowl Party tomorrow! I changed it up a bit, though, and used peanut oil (instead of nut butter b/c frankly, I have no clue what that is or where to find it) and doubled the chocolate powder. I also omitted the salt. I really hope my mom brings her usual fruit tray b/c this will be FANTASTIC on apple slices!!
Thanks, Katie!
Awww yay!!! 🙂 🙂
Is there a substitute for peanut butter in this recipe? I’m out (oh, the horror!) and was going to make this tonight for a party.
Otherwise, I’ll make a run to the store 🙂 its too tempting not to make it!

You can use another nut butter, like cashew or almond butter or even coconut butter. But you can also use coconut or canola or vegetable oil.
Just be sure to use a good food processor, not a blender.
I hope you like it!!
Kaite,
I am so excited about your website. I made the choc. chip cookie dough dip last week. My girls LOVED it (7 and 9). It was halfway gone and THEN I mentioned the chickpeas. =) Today they requested something else so I made the brownie batter dip (I could eat the ENTIRE bowl with a spoon) and the Blondies (they are still cooking but smell awesome) to take to a super bowl party. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipes. We are trying so hard to eat healthy and my youngest has a SUPER sweet tooth so it has been hard to make things that are healthy for her and that she likes to eat…UNTIL I found you. =) This morning I had peanut butter and chocolate oatmeal inspired by you too! =) Anyway, not to go on and on… I just wanted you to know how absolutely grateful this Momma is for you and your creativity, you have made our healthy lifestyle journey much more pleasant…and “chocolate covered” even! Thank you so much for sharing your time and creativity. You truly have a gift. I read on another page about a possible cookbook in the works? Just an FYI, I would buy and gift many copies. Your creations are spectacular. Happy Sunday!
Awww Michelle, thank you SO much for such a sweet comment. It really means a lot to me! 🙂
Oh My Goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sooooooo unbelievably delicious!! I ate the whole batch (not in one sitting :P) extra good with double the cocoa powder and chocolate chips! I seriously can’t get over how amazing this is!!!
PS I L O V E your blog!!! you should publish your recipes!!!
You are way too sweet!! 🙂 🙂
Hi Katie!!! I’ve been following your blog for about a year and I LOVE your recipes. I’ve never commented before but I just haaad to thank you after last weekend. I made this dip along with your chocolate chip cookie dough dip for my roommates during the superbowl, and it was such a success! All three girls are HUGE into sweets. Like, serious sweet teeth going on. And they know I like to make healthy desserts, so I wasn’t sure if my dips were going to trick them. But I looked over during halftime and one of the girls had a graham cracker in both hands and was simultaneously dipping into both dips (and then trying to fit both crackers into her mouth at the same time)! They loveeeed them and kept asking how I made them (they still don’t know they were eating beans, hehe). So I just had to thank you for making such great recipes, they’re seriously awesome 🙂 Have a great day!!
Your comment just MADE my day 🙂
Do you have the nutrition values for this recipe???
I just made and and plan on using it a dessert treat.
I would like to be able to log it in my food diary
Thank you. SOOOOO glad I found your blog!!!
Sorry, I don’t know the info for this one.
Do I eat the batter when I bake? ALWAYS! It’s the best part!
