Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
18.3 ounces boxed brownie mix

Optional add-ins:

Mini chocolate chips
Whipped topping (for a lighter texture)
A splash of milk (to adjust consistency)

Directions

I start by heating the dry brownie mix in the microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, to ensure it’s safe to eat raw. Then I let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, I beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer.
I gradually add in the cooled brownie mix and continue to beat until well combined.
If the dip is too thick, I stir in a splash of milk to reach my desired consistency.
I fold in mini chocolate chips if I want extra texture and chocolate bursts.
I transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 cups of dip, serving 6–8 people as an appetizer or dessert. It takes around 10 minutes to prepare, plus optional chill time if I want it extra cold.

Variations

Sometimes I mix in peanut butter, crushed Oreos, or even a swirl of caramel for a twist. If I want a fluffier texture, I fold in whipped topping after mixing. For a festive version, I add sprinkles or holiday-themed candies depending on the occasion.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I give it a good stir before serving again. It’s best enjoyed cold, so I don’t reheat it. If it firms up too much in the fridge, I let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before dipping.

FAQs

Is it safe to eat brownie mix raw?

Yes, as long as I heat-treat the dry mix to kill any potential bacteria. I microwave it in short intervals and stir to ensure even heating.

Can I use low-fat cream cheese?

Yes, I sometimes use low-fat cream cheese and it still comes out creamy and delicious.

What can I serve with this dip?

I like to serve it with graham crackers, strawberries, pretzels, vanilla wafers, or apple slices. It’s also amazing with marshmallows or broken-up waffle cones.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I make it a few hours in advance and keep it chilled until ready to serve. The flavors meld even more over time.

Can I freeze brownie batter dip?

I don’t recommend freezing it because the cream cheese can change texture. It’s best enjoyed fresh within a few days.
