Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons hot cocoa mix (approximately 4 packets of 1.38 oz each)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
For Serving (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Mini marshmallows
- Holiday sprinkles
- Oreos
- Graham crackers
- Shortbread cookies
- Peppermint sandwich cookies
- Whole strawberries
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese and Marshmallow Fluff: In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and Marshmallow Fluff together on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add Cocoa Mix, Cream, and Cocoa Powder: Lower the mixer speed to low and add the hot cocoa mix, heavy cream, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Beat just until combined, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Increase Speed and Continue Beating: Raise the mixer speed back to medium-high and beat the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until the dip is smooth and all the cocoa mix has fully dissolved, creating a fluffy, creamy consistency.
- Serve the Dip: Transfer the hot cocoa fluff dip to a serving bowl. Optionally, top with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and holiday sprinkles to enhance the festive appeal. Serve alongside a selection of cookies, graham crackers, or fresh strawberries for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for the fluffiest texture and easiest mixing.
- This dip pairs wonderfully with a variety of dippable treats including cookies and fresh fruit.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute heavy cream and cream cheese with plant-based versions, although texture may slightly differ.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving as it may thicken.
- Adjust the amount of hot cocoa mix to taste if you prefer a sweeter or more chocolate-forward flavor.
