Scale
Dip
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 8 ounce container Cool Whip
- 1 cup Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips, plus more for garnish
For Dipping
- Chocolate graham crackers
- Chocolate covered pretzels
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Add Sugar and Peppermint: Add the powdered sugar and peppermint extract to the cream cheese, and beat until smooth and fully combined, about 30 seconds.
- Incorporate Cool Whip: Add the Cool Whip to the mixture and beat on low to medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute, ensuring the dip remains light and fluffy.
- Fold in Peppermint Chips: Gently fold in the Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips to incorporate the crunchy bits evenly throughout the dip.
- Chill the Dip: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
- Serve: Garnish with additional Andes Peppermint Chips if desired and serve chilled with chocolate graham crackers and chocolate-covered pretzels for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
- Adjust the peppermint extract to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder mint flavor.
- The dip can be made a few hours ahead and chilled to enhance flavor development.
- Store any leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese, Cool Whip alternatives, and appropriate dipping snacks.
