A Party Dessert Or Fun Snack

How will you eat this delicious dip? I have so many ideas for it. It’s perfect for parties or even just as a late-night snack.

Here are some of my favorite ways to share this dip. Share your ideas too!

  • St. Patrick’s Day Party
  • Late night snack
  • After school snack
  • Birthday party appetizer
  • Christmas dessert – serve with red velvet brownies for the red and green colors

What is it about mint and chocolate that blends so effortlessly? It’s as if they were made for each other. The bright punch of mint with the deep and creamy notes of chocolate. Oh and then there is the cream cheese to hold it all together.

Basically, this is an indulgent treat. It taste’s like a cheesecake, but it’s a dip. It’s a really fun new way to enjoy a classic dessert.

How long does cream cheese dip last in the fridge?

Unopened cream cheese can last in a refrigerator for one month. But after you open it, you should use it within 10 days. The same goes for the dip. Keep it in an airtight container to help it last as long as it can.

How to Make this Recipe Keto-Friendly

The full cup of powdered sugar means this recipe is definitely not Keto. However, it can be modified to be more Keto-friendly with a few substitutions.

Instead of a cup of powdered sugar, add 1/4 cup of Erythritol or Stevia. Taste it and add more or less depending on how you like it.

What is a vegan substitute for cream cheese?

This recipe is definitely not vegan. The heavy whipping cream and cream cheese are dairy products.

To make this vegan, you’ll have to find some non-dairy substitutes and you might need to add some extra sugar.

The best vegan cream cheese and heavy cream substitutes are:

  • Miyoko’s Plainly Classic Cream Cheese
  • Go Veggie Cream Cheese
  • Pureed tofu for heavy cream
  • Blend 2/3 cup soy milk with 1/3 cup dairy-free margarine

How to make Mint Cream cheese dip

Using a hand mixer, beat together the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and mint extract and beat on medium to high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy and smooth

Combine the whipped cream in with the cream cheese and fold with a rubber spatula until smooth

Mix in a few drops of the green food coloring until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips

Place into the fridge until ready to serve
