Ingredients:
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Soften the base. Place your 8 oz cream cheese and 0.5 cup butter on the counter for at least 1 hour. Note: Cold fats won't emulsify and will leave your dip lumpy.
- Aerate the fats. In a medium bowl, beat the cheese and butter for 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed until pale and voluminous.
- Sift the sugar. Use a fine mesh sieve for the 0.75 cup powdered sugar. Note: This prevents tiny sugar pockets from forming in the fat.
- Incorporate sweeteners. Add powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 0.125 teaspoon salt.
- Start slow. Turn the mixer to the lowest setting to begin incorporating the sugar. until the white powder disappears.
- Whip to smooth. Increase speed to medium and beat for another 1 to 2 minutes until the texture is completely smooth and no longer gritty.
- Hand fold chips. Switch to your spatula and gently fold in the 1 cup mini chocolate chips. until evenly distributed.
- Final check. Scrape the bottom of the bowl one last time to ensure no unmixed cream cheese remains.
- Transfer and chill. Move the dip to a serving bowl, but let it sit at room temp for 15 minutes before serving for the best spreadability.
