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 just made this, used oil instead of peanut butter, and all I can taste is beans as well. I used my food processor which is cheap and tiny, so I blame it on that.
And I didn’t just totally dip oreo halves into it… :p
I’ll get a better food processor and hope for different results next time.
I’m a non-vegan but health conscious HUGE fan of your recipes. I love this brownie batter dip, as well as your Snickerdoodle and Chocolate Chip Cookie dips, but I’ve had trouble thinking of things other than pretzels and apple slices to dip in them… until I had the idea of mixing a bit in with some plain Greek yogurt. DELICIOUS! I haven’t tried soy yogurt or other vegan alternatives but I think it would be worth trying. I just add about 2 tbsp of this brownie batter dip to a cup of Fage 0% plain Greek yogurt for such a treat. And high in protein too! YUM
Hi Katie, I know this is kind of an old recipe, but I have been ignoring it for quite some time. Since I tried the cookie dough dip and fell in love, I decided this one could not possibly be as good therefor I would not try it. Well today, this recipe just happened to be calling my name. I planned to make it after dinner, but I just didn’t get the chance and it got late. Well at 11pm, instead of getting in bed, I decided to make this because I just couldn’t get it out of my head! It is ah-may-zing!! Can’t believe how awesome it is. I think I died and went to ooey, gooey, chocolatey heaven! Thank you!
Oh and I replaced half the sugar with ripe banana, in case anyone wants a suggestion for less sugar. And it is still super rich. 🙂
Thank you for letting me share my story!
Ok… this was the first time I made this… I made sure kids were watching TV so they wouldn’t see the beans!
I used coconut oil, 1/3 c dk brown sugar and 1/3 c Ideal sweetener. Next time I will omit a little bit of each. I also used almond milk as the liquid. I used too much, and had to thicken it and used some coconut flour. I too increased the cocoa powder and used dutch cocoa.
I added some mini chocolate chips and the kids are freaking out. Dipping apples in it as we speak. Little do they know!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!
You have probably answered this question before, but what happens if you use a blender instead of a food processor? We don’t have one, and I really want to make this!
Just made this for the first time after loving your deep dish cookie pie and it was so good! After lunch I wanted something sweet but didn’t have time to bake something and I remembered your dips! I’ve been back into the bowl a few times now and I might finish it before the day is over haha. Next time, sugar free version! Thanks! <3
I honestly think that this sounds so amazing, and it’s healthy too! However, I’m having a craving for this or your healthy cookie dough dip, but I don’t have either of the beans required to make these recipes in my apartment. Have you tried or do you have any recipes not using beans? I was just curious, the next time I go to the store though, both types of beans will for sure be on my list! Thank you!
How do you think this recipe would go over using black beans?
I may have eaten this entire recipe out of the bowl after a bad day… I just convinced myself it was great protein so it didn’t matter! On the plus side, it made my day much much better!!!
Made this… sorta 😉 I used white beans, added 2 more T cocoa, omitted the oil/nut butter, didn’t add salt, left out the vanilla, and used only 3 T brown sugar… And it came out great! Oh, and added some coconut flakes just for fun 🙂
