Key Ingredients
- Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese makes a smooth base and adds a little tang.
- Peanut Butter: Use creamy or crunchy, depending on how much texture you want.
- Sugar: Sweetens the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture. Powdered sugar works, too.
- Heavy Cream: Whips into the light, fluffy texture that makes this dip so good.
- Vanilla: Adds a subtle flavor that brings everything together.
- Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies: Chop them into pieces for little bites of crunch.
- Mini Peanut Butter Cups: More peanut butter and chocolate? Yes, please.
- Mini Chocolate Chips: Add even more chocolate throughout the dip.
How to Make Peanut Butter Dip
- Make the base. Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and sugar with a mixer for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth and light.
- Add the cream. Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla on low, scraping the bowl with a spatula until the mixture starts to incorporate. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 45 to 60 seconds, until fluffy and stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the extras. Gently fold in the cookies, peanut butter cups, and chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Serve with dippers. Spread the mixture into a decorative bowl and place on a platter surrounded by your favorite dippers such as apple slices and cookies.
Favorite Pairings
- Apple slices – Both Granny Smith and Honeycrisp work well.
- Graham crackers – I like using the chocolate version.
- Peanut butter sandwich cookies – Nutter Butters make the perfect dippers.
- Vanilla wafers – Light and easy cookie for dipping.
- Pretzels – Salted pretzels add even more flavor.
Variations
- Crunchy Peanut Butter: Swap creamy peanut butter for crunchy.
- More Chocolate: Add extra chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
- Different Cookies: Try chocolate sandwich cookies or chocolate chip cookies.
- Sweet and Salty: Add chopped peanuts or crushed pretzels.
Debi’s Dip Tips
- Soften the cream cheese. Room temperature cream cheese blends much more smoothly.
- Don’t overbeat the whipped cream. Stop as soon as stiff peaks form. You can substitute Cool Whip, but use a spatula to fold it in instead of a mixer.
- Keep the cookie pieces chunky. Bigger pieces give you that good little crunch.
- Chill before serving. The spread firms up and the flavors come together after an hour in the refrigerator.
Recipe FAQ
Make it several hours ahead or up to a day in advance. Keep it covered and refrigerated until time to serve.
Absolutely. It adds even more texture and more intense peanut flavor. I prefer the creamy peanut butter in this recipe because it already has plenty of texture from the other ingredients.
Use ½ cup powdered sugar in place of the granulated sugar if desired. I like using granulated sugar because I think the flavor is better, but powdered sugar also works.
