Dip Ingredients
- 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 it becomes smooth and creamy, which should take about 1 minute.
- Add Sugar and Peppermint Extract: Add the powdered sugar and peppermint extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat again on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, about 30 seconds.
- Incorporate Cool Whip: Add the container of Cool Whip to the bowl and beat the mixture on medium speed until everything is evenly combined, approximately 1 minute.
- Fold in Peppermint Chips: Gently fold in the Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips to distribute them throughout the dip without breaking them up.
- Chill the Dip: Transfer the prepared peppermint dip into a serving bowl and chill it in the refrigerator until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and dip to firm up slightly.
- Serve With Dippers: Serve the chilled peppermint dip alongside chocolate graham crackers and chocolate-covered pretzels for dipping.
Notes
- Be sure to use softened cream cheese for smooth mixing and to avoid lumps.
- For a stronger peppermint flavor, you may add a little more peppermint extract to taste.
- This dip can be prepared a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Keep the dip chilled until serving to maintain optimal texture.
