What You’ll Need
- Brownie Mix: Use a standard fudge brownie mix (dry ingredients only) and be sure to heat treat it first. This step is easy and keeps it safe to enjoy. It also gives the recipe that classic brownie batter flavor.
- Cream Cheese: Full-fat softened cream cheese makes it extra smooth and rich. If it’s too cold, there will be lumps, so room temperature is best.
- Milk: Add a little at a time until you reach the perfect creamy consistency. You may not need much.
- Whipped Topping: This creates a fluffy texture. Let it thaw out and fold it in gently for the best results.
- Mini Chocolate Chips: These little chips add bursts of chocolate crunch in every bite.
Step by Step Instructions
- Heat treat the dry brownie mix so it is safe to eat. Add the mix to a microwave safe bowl and heat in thirty second intervals for a total of about 90 seconds. Stir between each round until the temperature reaches 165ºF. Let it cool completely. While it’s cooling, beat softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooled brownie mix and blend on low speed until just combined.
- Slowly add the milk one tablespoon at a time while mixing on low. Stop when the mixture is silky and smooth. Fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until no white streaks remain.
- Gently add the mini chocolate chips and save some for the garnish.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can blend.

Recipe FAQ
You can, but homemade whipped cream makes the dip less stable. If you want to use it, choose a stabilized whipped cream recipe, especially if you plan to serve the dip later.
Brownie mix contains raw flour that can carry bacteria. Heating it to a safe temperature pasteurizes it without affecting the flavor. It’s simple to do and only takes 90 seconds to ensure your safety.
Sure! Whip it together and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days in advance. You might want to fold in extra whipped topping before serving to fluff it up a little.
Storage Guide
Leftovers: Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The dip will firm up in the fridge, so let it rest at room temperature for about fifteen minutes to bring back the creamy texture.
Freezing: You can freeze this dip in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and give it a good stir before serving. Since the texture changes after freezing, add more whipped topping to make it fluffy again.
