How to Make It

Step 1. Blend together all the ingredients except for the chocolate chips in a bowl until smooth. You can do this by hand, as it only requires a minute or two. It’s best to avoid using an electric mixer, as it may make your cheesecake base a bit too fluffy. If you prefer a fluffy dip, you can try the electric mixer.

Step 2. Fold the chocolate chips into the mixture. Complete this step by hand as well. This allows for more control over the cheesecake dip to ensure a well-combined mixture. Using an electric mixer may cause the chips to shred, giving the dip a different texture. 

Step 3. Place the mixture into a bowl or serving platter.

Step 4. Serve chilled with your favorite dipping choices. During this step, you can add your favorite add-ins, from nuts to peanut butter chips. This makes this recipe highly customizable, even if you’re brand-new to baking!

Tips for Success

• If you want a really thick and creamy dip, use full-fat cream cheese.
• For a thinner dip, use low-fat cream cheese.
• Don’t be afraid to experiment with different kinds of chocolate chips. I like to use a mix of milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips, but you can use whatever you like best.
• This dip is best served cold, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving.
• Serve this dip with graham crackers, cookies, or fruit for dipping.

Storage & Reheating

Storing this dip is easy and straightforward! Place leftover dip into airtight containers that are completely sealed in your refrigerator. This will stay fresh for up to 4 days!

You can also freeze this dip, though it’s not always recommended as the cheesecake mixture may not thaw out to its original texture. Freeze up to 2 months in a freezer-safe, airtight container.

There is no need to reheat this dip. Instead, when removing it from your refrigerator, allow it to warm a bit, so the mixture is exactly as you enjoyed it the first time.

Serving Suggestions

I recommend serving this delicious cheesecake dip with even sweeter pairings, such as homemade ice cream! Here at Sweet Pea’s Kitchen, we have a number of ice creams that pair perfectly with this dip, such as bourbon cherry ice cream, sea salt caramel truffle ice cream, and even raspberry ice cream. If you have a household that can’t get enough of chocolate, try our Wendy’s copycat frosty ice cream! Mmm mmm, good!

Notes

This is the perfect dip if you’re in a rush, but you’re craving something sweet. Best of all, you can add mix-ins as you please when baking chunky chocolate cheesecake dip at home. From pretzel sticks to peanut butter chips, there are no limits to making this chocolate cheesecake dip a crowd-pleaser any time of the year.
