Easy Brownie Batter Dessert Dip

Our girls have started cooking more and more, and while I love it, I also want to make sure that it always stays fun and not merely a means to eat. We found this darling new cookbook by Aimee from Like Mother Like Daughter called 50 Fixes for Brownie Mixes and knew it would be just perfect for Friday movie nights.

One of the most important things we want to teach our children is that family matters. We spend time together, we talk about silly stuff, real stuff and future stuff.

A good friend once told me that her mother taught her that her siblings were her best friends. If ever it became clear that siblings weren’t being nice to each other or constantly wanting to be with friends and not family, then they had a few days where it was sister time and they could only play with each other. What a lovely idea! To this day they are all the best of friends and that’s something to admire.

We now choose to do the same. In fact, our girls have been having sister dates. I take them somewhere and just sit back and watch them choose ice cream together or whatever.

I’m getting off topic, this brownie cookbook was a great chance for our girls to spend time together doing something fun. They can choose to cook from the cookbook whenever they want as long as it’s together. It’s so fun trying their new creations and this last weekend it was brownie batter dip. This chocolate dip is so good!!

The whole cookbook is loaded with beautiful pictures, easy recipes, and it’s all thanks to brownies — Cade’s Achilles heal. 😉 So maybe this Christmas do the same for your kids and just see what happens when they start making memories and yummy food together.

Brownie Batter Dessert Dip Ingredients

Whether you’re on the hunt for easy Valentine’s Day dessert recipes, easy party desserts, or simply want a snack for your family movie night, this creamy brownie batter dip is a must!

Here’s what you’ll need to make this chocolate dessert dip:

• Cream Cheese: full fat, softened to room temperature
• Cool Whip: let it thaw so it’s not frozen and clumpy when you mix it in
• Boxed Brownie Mix: any brand will do but our favorite is Ghirardelli
• Milk: helps thin the dip out
• Mini Chocolate Chips: These are optional but we love the texture it adds.

How to Make Brownie Batter Dessert Dip

This truly is such an easy dessert dip recipe! Exact instructions and measurements are included in the recipe card below, but here’s a brief explanation of how we make this brownie batter dip:

1. Cream the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric hand mixer.
2. Mix in the Cool Whip.
3. Add the brownie mix and milk.
4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Serve with your favorite snacks!

Do I Need to Heat Treat the Brownie Mix?

I haven’t ever had a problem with brownie mix, but if you are concerned about eating raw brownie mix, then you can definitely heat treat it. It can be done in the oven or microwave. To heat treat in the oven, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F, spread the brownie mix in a thin layer on a baking, and place in the oven for about 10 minutes.

To use the microwave, place it all in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until the temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Make sure the brownie mix cools completely before adding to the dip.

What to Serve with Brownie Batter Dessert Dip

One of the things I love most about this easy chocolate dessert is that it pairs well with pretty much anything! We like to have a variety of dippers for people to use. A few of our favorite dippers to dip into this easy holiday dessert recipe are:

• Pretzels or pretzel chips
• Cinnamon sugar pita chips
• Fresh fruit (strawberries, banana, and apple slices)
• Cookies (store-bought or homemade)
• Vanilla wafers
• Marshmallows
• Graham crackers

Is There a Cool Whip Substitute I Can Use?

We’ve only ever made this edible brownie batter dip recipe as written, so I can’t say for sure. You may be able to use homemade whipped cream in place of the Cool Whip whipped topping but make sure it is stabilized whipped cream so it holds its structure. Please let me know if you try this method!

Can I Prep Brownie Dip in Advance?

Yes! This easy party dessert can be made up to one day in advance. You’ll want to wrap it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it.

Can I Freeze Brownie Batter Dessert Dip?

No, I don’t recommend freezing this chocolate dip. The cream cheese will break down in the freezer and the dip would change texture once thawed.

Tips for Making Brownie Batter Dessert Dip

For the richest, creamiest chocolate dip, you’ll want to use full-fat cream cheese that comes in a brick. The cream cheese also needs to come to room temperature before making this easy holiday dessert, otherwise the dip won’t whip up correctly.

You may be tempted to leave out those mini chocolate chips, but do not do it!!! They take the recipe from good to amazing. It breaks up the flavor and I found myself digging for them.

If you don’t like chocolate chips (who are you?!?!), try mixing in crushed Oreos. That would be fabulous! Other delicious mix-ins to try – mini m&m’s, peanut butter chips, Reese’s Pieces, or Heath Bits.

This dip has been a huge hit at bridal showers, baby showers, Super Bowl parties, birthday parties, or New Year’s Eve.

Lastly, note that you’ll be adding the boxed brownie mix to the chocolate dessert dip as a dry ingredient. Do NOT add the oil, eggs, or water that the box calls for! Just dump the mix straight from the box into the dip.

Indulge in the rich, chocolatey goodness of this irresistible brownie batter dip. Perfect for parties or as a decadent dessert, this recipe is sure to please your taste buds.
