Introduction

This easy 5-minute dessert dip is a sweet and colorful treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Creamy, chocolatey, and festive with Valentine sprinkles, it’s ideal for dipping fruits, pretzels, or cookies.

A white bowl holds a creamy, light pink dip with visible small chocolate chips mixed in. The dip is topped with colorful sprinkles in pink, white, and red, three shiny red cherries, and a small pink square candy piece. A thin slice of red apple is placed at the edge of the bowl. Around the bowl, slices of red apple with white flesh are arranged on one side, while a row of stacked golden sandwich cookies is on the other side. The whole setup is on a white marbled surface with a soft, out-of-focus background of pale pink and white shapes. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese – room temperature
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup Valentine sprinkles and/or M&Ms

Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mini chocolate chips, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Step 2: Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, mix until the ingredients are completely smooth and well-incorporated.
Step 3: Add half of the Valentine sprinkles to the mixture. Stir gently; the color from the sprinkles will start to bleed, turning the dip a lovely shade of pink.
Step 4: Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl and place it in the center of a platter.
Step 5: Garnish the top of the dip with the remaining sprinkles and M&Ms.
Step 6: Arrange your favorite dippers, such as strawberries, pretzels, or vanilla wafers, around the bowl and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a fluffier texture, fold in whipped cream before adding sprinkles.
Try using different themed sprinkles to match holidays or parties.
Swap mini chocolate chips for white chocolate chips for a different flavor.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, let the dip sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften slightly. Stir gently if needed.
