Ingredients for Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip
- Cream Cheese – You can’t have cheesecake without cream cheese! For this recipe, use either whipped cream cheese or a block of softened cream cheese. This helps the dip maintain a smooth texture and makes it easier to mix.
- Powdered Sugar – Sweeten the cream cheese with some powdered sugar! The sugar also makes the cream cheese more spreadable.
- Whipped Cream – Give the dip a lighter and fluffier texture with whipped cream or whipped topping. Cool Whip is my usual go-to, but homemade whipped cream is great, too.
- Peppermint Extract – One teaspoon of peppermint extra is all it takes to add immense flavor to this dessert. If you love mint chocolate chip ice cream or the Shamrock Shakes from McDonald’s, then you’ll love the flavor of this mint cheesecake dip.
- Chocolate Chips – A giant helping of chocolate chips makes this dessert perfect. Mini chocolate chips are best for this recipe.
- Green Food Coloring (optional) – Make this dessert the perfect shade of spring green with a drop or two of green food coloring. Not only is it pretty, but it signals to your guests that the dip is minty.
