Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 24 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, plus more for topping
  • Graham crackers, chocolate cookies, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for serving

Instructions

  1. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30-40 minutes to soften, or microwave on 50% power for 15-second bursts until just soft.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
  3. Add vanilla extract and peppermint extract; mix until just blended.
  4. Add green food coloring and mix until evenly colored.
  5. Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until just combined and light.
  6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a tablespoon for garnish if desired.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld (optional but recommended).
  8. Transfer to a serving bowl, top with extra whipped topping and mini chocolate chips, and serve with your choice of dippers.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and chill the dip before serving. Adjust peppermint extract to taste, as it can be strong. The dip is naturally gluten-free; just use gluten-free dippers if needed. Make ahead up to 24 hours and add toppings fresh before serving. Do not freeze, as texture may change.
