Peanut Butter Cheesecake Dip
What You’ll Need:
- Ingredients:
- 1 block (8 ounces) softened cream cheese
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups homemade whipped cream (or thawed Cool Whip)
- Toppings (choose your favorites!):
- Peanut butter cups
- Chocolate chips
- Reese’s Pieces
- Dippers (get creative!):
- Graham crackers
- Nutter Butter cookies
- Apple slices
- Pretzels
- Vanilla wafers
- And more!
How to Make It:
- Cream the Base: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened cream cheese and dark brown sugar until smooth and completely combined.
- Add the Peanut Butter: Beat in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until well incorporated, ensuring there are no streaks of peanut butter remaining.
- Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the homemade whipped cream (or thawed Cool Whip) using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the dip and make it less fluffy.
- Top and Chill: Pour the dip into a serving bowl and top with your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, Reese’s cups, or Reese’s Pieces. Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and for the dip to set slightly.
- Serve and Enjoy! Serve the chilled dip with your favorite dippers and enjoy!
Tips:
- For an even richer peanut butter flavor: Use a creamy peanut butter instead of a chunky variety.
- No homemade whipped cream? No problem!: Feel free to substitute store-bought whipped cream, just ensure it’s thawed completely before using.
- Leftovers? This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
