What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 3 tbsp mini chocolate chips
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Soften the Cream Cheese
Place the cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20 to 30 seconds until very soft and easy to stir. This ensures a smooth lump-free dip.
Step 2: Mix in Chocolate Ingredients
Add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar to the softened cream cheese and beat together with a fork or hand mixer until completely smooth and combined.
Step 3: Adjust Consistency
Add the milk one tablespoon at a time and stir until the dip reaches a soft and scoopable consistency similar to thick hummus. Do not add too much milk at once.
Step 4: Fold in Chips and Serve
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with graham crackers, pretzels, strawberries, or animal crackers for dipping.

- milk → heavy cream for an extra rich and indulgent dip
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Not softening the cream cheese enough before mixing which leaves lumps throughout the dip
- Adding all the milk at once which can make the dip too runny and difficult to fix
