Ingredients

My favorite part: This recipe has only 4 simple ingredients.

• Hot cocoa mix
• Cream cheese block, room temperature
• Marshmallow fluff (Also called marshmallow creme)
• Cool Whip, thawed

What type of hot cocoa works best?

Your favorite brand is fine when it comes to choosing hot chocolate mix!

2 cups seems like a lot, but you can buy big canisters of the mix at the grocery store instead of buying hot chocolate packets and opening up each one.

I have a local grocery outlet nearby, and they sell bags of the hot cocoa mix you would find made at a restaurant. That’s where I got mine!

Can you use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

I’ve never used the homemade in this, but I’m not sure how well it would hold its consistency. I recommend just using store-bought whipped topping for this recipe.

What’s the best way to combine the ingredients?

I used my stand mixer with the paddle attachment! It’s pretty hands-off and easy to mix.

Alternatively, you can also use a hand mixer.

How long does this last in the fridge?

Once this is fully made, it’ll stay fresh for about 5 days in the fridge!

Can you freeze this?

This recipe can’t be frozen. Cream cheese thaws in a weird way, and you won’t have that same delicious consistency. For best results, make it fresh and plan to use it up within a few days.

Since this makes so much, I recommend halving the recipe so you don’t have a ton sitting around!

How to make

In a bowl of a stand mixer, add the cream cheese and mix on low speed for 2 minutes.

Add the hot cocoa mix, a little at a time, until it’s fully mixed in.

Add the marshmallow fluff and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until everything is completely combined.

Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the Cool Whip until fully mixed in. Transfer to a large bowl for storage or serving.

Serve with fruit, graham crackers, or other favorite dippers.

How to store

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for about 5 days.

What to serve with this dip

The best part: Being able to dip yummy foods into this! Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Fresh fruit like strawberries

This sweet treat is like a cup of hot chocolate in dip form. You’ll want to make this every holiday season!
