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.

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls
This stuff is SO FREAKIN’ GOOD. I’m eating some as we speak and totally food-gasming hahah. I seriously did not expect it to taste this good. It literally tastes JUST like brownie batter. I actually added some extra PB because I looove chocolate-peanut butter. And I’m pretty sure that it’s nearly impossible to make this with EVERY bit of garbanzo bean creamed, but I actually like the little bits of garbanzo bean in this recipe because it tastes like nuts! Soo good! This is a must try!!!!
Garbanzo beans are the same as chickpeas? I don’t think I am brave enough though…
Can I just use chickpeas? I have no idea what garbanzo beans are.
Garbanzo beans and chickpeas are the same thing.
I’ve been looking at your healthy recipes for awhile and have been hesitant to try dessert bean dip, but since it’s a rainy day today and I had nothing else to do I figured I’d try one. I made this with butter beans, drained and rinsed, since it’s the only kind of beans I had and sweetened it with brown sugar. Big mistake. It tasted good at first but then the bean taste hit me, so I would not recommend making this with butter beans. Also, the vanilla taste was way too strong and I think it could do with a lot less sugar. My fiancé tasted the bean taste right away. I think I’ll try this again, or the cookie dip once I have chickpeas. I also used a blender but it blended fine.
How many calories?
Made his last night. Omitted oil/ nut butter, replaced milk with canned condensed coconut milk, and used the soaked dried pitted dates (from the sugar free chocolate cookie dough dip) as my sweetener. I also shaved some bittersweet baking chocolate into it. It was delicious 🙂
This. recipe. is. fucking. awesome.
I just loved it. Seriously. My family is arabic, so I really like to make hummus, and I had a lot of canned garbanzo beans here… when I saw this recipe, I know I should try it.
I ate almost the entire batch… and regret nothing.
I guess I am just cursed with extremely sensitive taste buds because no matter what I did, the taste of the chickpeas overwhelmed all other flavors for me. I even tried adding extra cocoa and pb. My husband couldn’t taste the beans at all even when I told him and thought the dip was tasty. Oh well, my coworkers and hubby will enjoy it at least.
Hmmm… maybe it’s also because you knew they were in there to begin with? If you ever want to try again, I did hear some of the commenters say that they liked white beans better. Personally I can’t tell a difference, but some people swear it makes the recipe better.
Could I use white beans to replace the garbanzo beans? Like great northern beans. (they are white)
Thank you for having an alternative to healthy living and eating with sweet treats.
Yes, definitely. 🙂
calories?
