In a medium mixing bowl, blend together powdered sugar and cream cheese using an electric hand or stand mixture. It will be crumbly at first but after about 2-3 minutes of mixing, it should be smooth.
8 ounces block of cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar
Add in all over ingredients except for chocolate chips and M&M’s. Mix until smooth.
½ cup creamy peanut butter, 1 stick unsalted butter, 1½ cups oats, ⅓ cup milk, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon sea salt
Add in chocolate chips and M&M’s, reserving a small handful of each for garnishing. Mix well using a rubber spatula.
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup M&M’s
Cover and place inside the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill.
When ready to serve, place in a small serving bowl and top with remaining chocolate chips and M&M’s.
Notes
Storage:
To Store: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To Freeze: I do not recommend freezing the dip. You can make it the day or night before and keep it covered in the fridge.
Tips:
This oatmeal cookie dough dip is best served chilled.
You can use more or less oats to adjust the thickness of your dip.
Make sure your butter and cream cheese have been softened to room temperature before mixing up this dip. This will ensure a smooth creamy mixture that is evenly incorporated.
I love serving this dip on a charcuterie board surrounded by a variety of fruit or sweet and salty dipping snacks.
