# Ingredients Required:
→ Base
01 -
225 g cream cheese, softened
02 -
120 g smooth, unsweetened peanut butter
→ Sweeteners and Flavorings
03 -
90 g powdered sugar, sifted
04 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Texture Enhancers
05 -
240 g whipped topping, thawed
→ Optional Mix-ins
06 -
50 g mini chocolate chips
07 -
50 g crushed toffee bits
# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer until smooth and silky.
02 -
Add the peanut butter and mix until the blend reaches a uniform light-tan color. Scrape the bowl sides to ensure even mixing.
03 -
Add the sifted powdered sugar in three increments, mixing thoroughly after each addition to prevent grittiness. Stir in vanilla extract.
04 -
Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the mixture with a broad spatula to maintain airiness and achieve a mousse-like consistency.
05 -
If using, sprinkle chocolate chips and crushed toffee over the dip and fold twice to integrate evenly.
06 -
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, create soft swirls with the back of a spoon, garnish with additional chocolate chips and toffee. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow firming before serving with pretzels, graham crackers, or apple slices.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps; sifting powdered sugar prevents clumping and results in a smooth texture.
02 -
Using full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping enhances flavor richness.
03 -
Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to firm the texture and meld flavors.
