Ingredients

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

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
18.3 ounces brownie mix (store-bought, dry mix)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

I start by beating the cream cheese until it’s smooth and fluffy — it helps to make sure it’s at room temperature.
Then I slowly mix in the dry brownie mix, blending until everything is fully combined.
I add the milk a little at a time, stirring until the dip reaches a soft, creamy consistency.
Finally, I fold in the mini chocolate chips for that extra burst of chocolatey goodness.
I like to chill it for 10-15 minutes before serving, but it can also be enjoyed immediately.

Chill time (optional): 10-15 minutes
Total time: 5-15 minutes

Variations

I sometimes swap the mini chocolate chips for chopped nuts or M&M’s for a fun twist.
For a peanut butter flavor, I add a couple of tablespoons of creamy peanut butter when mixing.
I’ve also tried using dark chocolate brownie mix for a richer, more intense flavor.
To make it a bit lighter, I substitute Greek yogurt for half of the cream cheese.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Before serving again, I give it a good stir. If it thickens too much, I mix in a splash of milk to loosen it up. This dip is best served chilled or at room temperature — no heating necessary.

FAQs

What should I serve with Brownie Batter Dip?

I love pairing it with strawberries, graham crackers, pretzels, apple slices, or vanilla wafers. Anything dippable works great!

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. I often make it a day ahead and keep it chilled. Just stir before serving for the best texture.

Is it safe to eat raw brownie mix?

Yes, but I always make sure the mix is heat-treated or labeled safe to eat raw. Many boxed mixes are now designed this way.

Can I use a hand mixer or mix by hand?

I prefer using a hand mixer to get a smoother, fluffier texture, but mixing by hand works in a pinch.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yes, I’ve made it with dairy-free cream cheese and almond milk — it still turns out delicious!

Conclusion

Brownie Batter Dip is one of those no-fuss desserts that I come back to time and time again. It’s rich, creamy, and perfect for sharing (or not!). Whether I’m hosting a party or just craving something sweet, this dip always delivers.
