Ingredients You Need for Easy Cherry Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip
Cream Cheese: A brick of cream cheese makes a great base for this simply delicious dip. Use your favorite brand of plain cream cheese and feel free to substitute low-fat cream cheese. Remember to remove the cream cheese from the fridge for a half hour or so before mixing this dip. That way it’s a little softer and easier to work with.
Whipped Topping: This common freezer staple is the ideal easy ingredient to bring a light, fluffy texture to this irresistible dessert dip! If you store yours in the freezer, thaw it out in the fridge before using it in this tasty recipe.
Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar helps to bring some sweetness to the cheesecake dip. It also acts as a thickener and stabilizing, so the dip will stay nice, thick, and creamy throughout the serving.
Vanilla Extract: Use this pantry staple to add a smooth sweet flavor to the mix.
Maraschino Cherry Juice: A hint of sweet cherry juice brings a bright, exciting, fruity flavor that melds so well with the tangy cream cheese taste.
Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Mini chips are great for this recipe. They have just the right size to not overwhelm in the perfect bite of this creamy dessert. Semi-sweet chips have a great balanced flavor, but if you like things a little bolder, try dark chocolate instead.
