Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 40 grams Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted (1/2 cup)
  • 30 grams all-purpose flour, sifted (1/4 cup)
  • 210 grams powdered sugar, sifted (1 3/4 cups)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 52 grams brown sugar, packed (1/4 cup)

Dairy Ingredients

  • 160 milliliters heavy whipping cream, cold (2/3 cup)
  • 226 grams full-fat cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)

Other

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips, for serving
  • Cookies, strawberries, pretzels, or other dippers, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the cocoa and flour mixture: Whisk the sifted Dutch-process cocoa powder and all-purpose flour together in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until the mixture reaches 165°F (74°C). This takes about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total. Allow the mixture to cool completely before using.
  2. Whip the heavy cream: Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer half of the whipped cream into a small bowl and set aside for later.
  3. Cream the cream cheese and powdered sugar: Add softened cream cheese and sifted powdered sugar to the large mixing bowl used for whipping cream. Using beaters or a paddle attachment, beat the ingredients together for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and creamy in texture.
  4. Incorporate cocoa mixture and flavorings: Mix in the cooled cocoa-flour mixture, Kosher salt, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture. Continue beating for another 2 to 3 minutes until the dip is light, fluffy, and well combined. Occasionally scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Then fold in the brown sugar just until it’s combined, about 15 to 20 seconds, making sure the sugar does not fully dissolve.
  5. Fold in the whipped cream: Using a rubber spatula, fold half of the reserved whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture gently. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream until the dip is uniformly fluffy and creamy with no streaks remaining.
  6. Serve and garnish: Spoon the brownie batter dip into a serving bowl. Garnish the top with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips. Serve immediately with an assortment of cookies, strawberries, pretzels, or your choice of dippers, and enjoy this decadently creamy dessert dip.

Notes

  • Make sure the cocoa and flour mixture cools completely before adding to the cream cheese to avoid melting or curdling.
  • Use cold heavy whipping cream to achieve the best whipping volume and texture.
  • Do not overbeat the brown sugar to maintain a slight grainy texture reminiscent of brownie batter.
  • This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Feel free to experiment with different dippers such as pretzels, graham crackers, or fruit slices for varied flavors and textures.
