How To Make Brownie Batter Dip

  1. Heat-treat the brownie mix: Microwave the dry mix in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute and 15 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds. Let it cool completely.
  2. Mix the cream cheese and butter: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the whipped topping: Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined.
  4. Add the brownie mix: Sift in the cooled brownie mix to prevent lumps, then mix well.
  5. Add the milk: Stir in milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Fold in mix-ins: Stir in your favorite add-ins like chocolate chips, candies, or pretzels.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with a variety of dippers.

What to Serve with Brownie Batter Dip

  • Strawberries – Fresh, juicy, and perfect for dipping
  • Apple slices – Crisp and slightly tart for balance
  • Banana slices – Soft, sweet, and naturally creamy
  • Graham crackers – A classic pairing with great crunch
  • Pretzels – Sweet and salty combo that always hits the spot
  • Vanilla Wafers – Buttery, soft, and subtly sweet
  • Oreo cookies – For the ultimate double chocolate dessert

Tips and Variations

  • Soften your cream cheese: Let it come to room temperature for easy, lump-free mixing.
  • Don’t skip heat-treating: Heating the brownie mix ensures it’s safe to eat raw.
  • Make it festive: Add seasonal sprinkles, themed candies, or mix-ins, like chopped mint chocolates or Andes mints for winter or pink sprinkles and heart candies for Valentine’s Day.
  • Add a swirl: Fold in peanut butter, Nutella, or marshmallow fluff for extra flavor and texture. A drizzle of salted caramel sauce on top is always a delicious idea, too!
  • Serve it as a board: Turn it into a dessert grazing board with your favorite dippers and sweet and salty snacks.

Storage Tips

  • Store: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: No need to reheat; just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.
  • Freeze: Not recommended, as freezing can affect the texture and make it gritty.

Jenn’s Notes

*If your brownie mix is 16 oz, you’ll likely only need 1-3 tablespoons milk
**Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
