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.

No Bake Chocolate Party Desserts
3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls
Made this yesterday, it was amazing! I had to add more milk to make my blender happy, but the consistency was still quite thick and batter-like. I also subbed some lucuma powder for some of the sweetener.
I love vegan baking because I can always have a taste of the batter 🙂
I may actually be able to get my kids to eat beans this way! I’m definitely giving this a try.
Made this for a party last night, and it was devoured almost before I got to try any myself. Thanks for a terrific recipe :).
Oh and the party guests weren’t vegan. They still loved it!
What sweetener did you use? I just made it and I feel like the taste is off wahhhhhh
M, what sweetener did you use? Can you tell me exactly what ingredients you used? Then hopefully I can help :).
Hi!! All we had was truvia so I added 3 or 4 packets of that. Then I felt like it was missing something, so I added some honey. It still tasted like beans to me so I added more cocoa powder. I used half applesauce, half PB in the 1/4 cup. After I refridgerated it, it did taste a little better. I think I needed to use all PB, so I’ll try again once this batch is gone. I may have to wait though–I have pretty much smoked (literally) our little food processor, so my mom is banning me until I buy a new big league one! Hahahaha
Probably the truvia is what’s making it taste “off.” Try it with regular sugar when you get some :).
mmmm looks yummy! I always eat the raw batter when I bake! That’s why I love 2 ingredient cupcakes. They never have eggs, so I can eat as much batter as my little heart desires 🙂
What are two ingredient cupcakes? They sound like something I’d like!
They are delicious! Here is a link to the “recipes.” Note, they are very simple because I’m not the best cook 🙂

This looks perfect for a party. But you know what it’d be even more perfect for? Keeping all to myself! 😉
We always eat our raw dough 😉 Love it! Nothing beats it!
Delicious!! Great idea!! Of course I eat the raw version!!! We have discussed licking the blades of the food process, right?! 🙂
Have a great day!!!
UM YUMMMMMMMMM CHOCOLATE = best idea everrrr
This looks delicious! Eating the batter is the best part of baking. 😉
I bet you could make lots of flavors of this dip. Pumpkin pie?
That sounds good! I’m thinking of a chocolate-pumpkin blondie recipe, maybe in the fall 🙂
