Chocolate Chip Cannoli Dip and Brownie Batter Dip





I've been eyeing something like this on pintrest for awhile as is a great/cool alternative to your typical dessert! The chocolate chip cannoli dip recipe is actually listed all over pintrest as a "cookie dough dip" recipe, but after making it and tasting it..I just..couldn't..call it cookie dough. I'm sorry pintrest peeps, your taste buds are off- this does NOT taste like cookie dough, but could pass for a bomb cannoli! Therefore, so I wouldn't lead anyone on, I took my creative license and swapped the name. Once you make it, you'll know what I mean!

Chocolate Chip Cannoli Dip
1/2 Cup Butter (softened)
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 (8oz) block cream cheese (softened)
1/2 Cup powdered sugar
1 Cup milk chocolate chips

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble. Set aside to cool and whisk in vanilla. In a medium size bowl, cream together your softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Slowly add in brown sugar/butter mixture until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. You can serve this right away, but its better if you throw it in the fridge for a couple hours for all the flavors to meld.

Brownie Batter Dip
1 (8oz) block cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2-3 Tbsp milk
5 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp brown sugar
5 Tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla extract
chocolate chips (for garnish)

In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar and milk until creamy. Add in the flour, cocoa, brown sugar and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Top with a handful of chocolate chips.


I served these two dips with animal crackers and honey graham crackers, but they could easily go with pretzels, strawberries or vanilla wafers! This dessert was such a hit! I have already been looking at other options and found recipes for snickerdoodle and Reese's PB cup! The possibilities are endless!!!
