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.

Katie, love love love the chocolate chip cookie dough dip! And I can’t wait to try the brownie batter. I’m on vacation, so I have to wait til I get back to my own kitchen. One thing-my dip came out very runny and didn’t look like the picture. It tasted great, but I’m not sure what I did wrong. Thanks for all the great food!
Hey Donna!
When you make the dip, do you add the optional flax/oats? I always do. If you don’t, do you still add the nondairy milk?
I did not include the oats and I did include So Delicious coconut milk. So I will add oats and decrease the milk. Even the “mistakes” are delicious!
That’s what I love about edible experiments… you get to eat the mistakes! 😉
Chocolate and peanut butter are heaven 🙂 And yes I eat the batter!!! That’s one of the very best things about vegan baking 🙂
Heck to the yes.
Wait, it’s legal to bake and not eat the batter? I had no idea.
Maybe only in some states!
yummyyyy! we ran out of chickpeas because i kept making brownies LOL so i’m gonna use black beans
*drool* I actually never eat the cake batter! I save it 🙂
Oh, my. I might have to spring for this. In another life, I definitely made cookie dough a time or two just to eat the cookie dough… So bad. But soooo good. I can’t wait to whip this up and take a spoon to it. Though, I’m without food processor in my current digs! Hi, mom and dad… Just making some cookie dough with chickpeas. 😉
YUMMOH!!! 😀 Katie, I LOVE CHOCOLATE!
This recipe looks kind of like THE best thing ever. I can see this quickly replacing all my meals lol.
Soooo true about chocolates addictive properties. Didja know that when Naloxone (a drug) is administered, it takes away the high/feelings of pleasure that come w/ eating chocolate? It does the same with morphine. Basically chocolate is a drug haha.
Hahahaha I believe it! It definitely gives too much happiness to not be a drug! 😉
Oh yes! I am notorious for sneaking licks of French toast or pancake batter!
