Brownie Batter Dip

Brownie Batter Dip | Stick a Fork in It

Say it with me know. Brownie. Batter. Dip. As in, a perfectly acceptable reason to eat brownie batter, without worrying about eating raw eggs. It’s sweet, but not too sweet, silky and chocolate-y, and seriously tastes just like brownie batter. It’s uh-mazing. Serve it with strawberries, pretzels, vanilla wafers, marshmallows, animal crackers and/or apples. Or, just grab a spoon. I won’t judge. ๐Ÿ™‚

Author: Chrisy
Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, light or regular, softened
  • ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 5 tablespoons cocoa powder, regular or Dutch-process
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk
  • Chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
  • Pretzels, strawberries, marshmallows, graham crackers, animal crackers, or apples for dipping
Instructions
  1. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and mix well.ย  Add the cocoa powder, brown sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons milk. Mix until smooth.
  2. Add additional powdered sugar or milk if needed, until the desired consistency is reached. You want the dip to be soft enough to easily dip a pretzel without breaking it, but stiff enough to hold its shape and not be runny.
  3. Garnish with chocolate chips, if desired.

    This didn’t turn out for me. ๐Ÿ™ It tasted mostly like cream cheese with a little chocolate, so I kept mixing more chocolate, powdered sugar, milk, etc. in. It never ended up tasting like brownie batter dip, but it was an ok chocolate dip for fruit and cookies. I won’t be making it again though.

      I felt that it tasted a little too much cream cheese the day I made it as well. I refrigerated it over night and the next day it tasted like chocolate and could not tastes the cream cheese. It was good either way tho!

    Umm… YUMMMMM!! I could probably eat at least half of the bowl by myself. I agree that it is really cream-cheesy, but I do love cream cheese. I wonder if neufchatel or a lighter cream cheese would taste different (I’ve never sat down and eaten straight off the block before…). That being said, I don’t care what kind of cream cheese I have, I would make this again in a jiffy!!

    We were sooo excited to make this! While it was very good, I did have to alter it a little bit because it was a little too “cream cheesey” tasting for us. We added some chocolate syrup and more cocoa powder. Don’t get me wrong, this was very good and very easy, just a little too cream cheese tasting for our tastes, we would have liked a little more brownie batter/chocolate taste… any suggestions? We did use 2% milk and fat free cream cheese.

        I was thinking of adding chocolate pudding. I did add chocolate syrup and a little more cocoa powder than out called for but everyone loved it, some people didn’t.even dip anything in it just ate it with a spoon! Like I said, it was really good just a little more cream cheese flavor than I’d like. Will try it with pudding!

    Could you use less cream cheese and not mess up the dish? If so, how low on the amount would be ideal? This looks REALLY tasty though. ๐Ÿ™‚

      I’m not sure, you could try replacing some of the cream cheese with yogurt or even cool whip. You need something to replace the “creaminess”

      You could make it the night before and of course keep in the refrigerator. I actually think its best to make it before as the flavors “blend” over time, so before you add other ingredients to it(as I did because it wasn’t chocolaty enough for me, but I LOVE chocolate) it’s good to let it sit and then taste it again.

    This stuff is amazing! I made it for our friends and we all devoured it! I did think it was a tiny bit heavy on the cream cheese taste at first (that tangy taste) so I spooned in a little extra powdered sugar. That’s all it needed to take the tangy taste away and make it a little sweeter like brownie batter. This stuff is delish! I will be making it a LOT more!

      You could skip it if you want, or replace it with more confectioners sugar. It shouldn’t have to much affect on the recipe.

    i am not a person that can adjust recipes.. I don’t have that skill. I read your comments and most mentioned that the cream cheese taste is strong. My husband hates cream cheese so this wouldn’t be a great recipe for him, but i do. What exact measurements would you change to use less cream cheese and what would you use and how much of that would you add? Thanks! I cant wait to make it!

    • Chrissy says

      August 12, 2013 at 8:56 pm

      It’s hard to say, but you could always just add a little more powdered sugar until you like the taste. If it gets too thick, add a splash of milk. Or, I suppose you could use 4 ounces of cream cheese and maybe 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt or cool-whip to make it less “cream cheese” taste. Good luck, and enjoy!

      Reply
    • Jenn K says

      August 12, 2013 at 9:26 pm

      I would recommend that you make it exactly as is and then simply add a tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time until it is the right blend of cream cheese and sweet that you both like.

      October 20, 2013 at 3:53 pm

      Hmm, hard to say. I would omit the flour and cocoa in place of the brownie mix, so that’s at least 10 tablespoons. You could probably swap 1 cup of the powdered sugar for brownie mix as well. It’s a pretty forgiving recipe, so you can always add more sugar or brownie mix if it needs to be sweeter or more chocolate-y. (Is that a word? ๐Ÿ™‚ ) If you try it, let me know!

    I found this on Pinterest and made it early this morning for girls night tonight. When I first tasted it this morning, it was very cream cheesy (which is OK by me), but after sitting in the fridge all day, the flavors melded and it tastes EXACTLY like brownie batter! I had divided the batch – some for tonight for us and some for my husband and son. They annihilated their bowl already. Not sure the girls’ bowl will make it out the door!

    I wonder if substituting peanut butter for some cream cheese would accomplish diminishing the cream cheese taste while adding chocolate’s best friend, PB? Chocolate peanut butter brownies are to die for. There are so many possibilities to modify! I’m thinking of the above option and adding some rice crispier to the dip (I love crunch!). You could always make rice crispy bites be a dipper instead. I’m making this my next potluck! Just need a sweet server like you ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for posting!

    Not to be not picky but one of the dangers of raw batter is actually raw flour, which can be an E. coli risk. I eat it all the time anyway because I can’t resist, but maybe you should include some information about this in the description.
    Beautiful blog!
