Ingredients for Reese’s Cheesecake Dip

Cream Cheese – You can’t have cheesecake without cream cheese! Use either whipped cream cheese or a block of softened cream cheese for this recipe. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature before preparing. This helps the dip maintain a smooth texture. It also makes it easier to mix.
Creamy Peanut Butter – Smooth peanut butter is best for this recipe because blending into the cream cheese is easier.
Powdered Sugar – The sugar adds a bit of extra sweetness to the dip to balance the salty peanut butter and the tangy cream cheese.
Whipped Cream – Give the dip a lighter and fluffier texture with whipped topping. Cool Whip is my usual go-to, but use whichever brand you prefer. Homemade whipped cream is another option for this recipe as well.
Reese’s Pieces and Peanut Butter Cups – Chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups mixed throughout the dip give the dessert a little crunch and chew. Reese’s Pieces are even better because they are colorful with hard crunchy shells. With this candy bar dessert, more is better!
