So easy to make, this peanut butter cheesecake dip is loaded with a strong peanut butter flavor, thick creamy and fluffy texture and topped off with chocolate chips, Reese’s cups and Reese’s pieces.
Perfect for just about every occasion, this peanut butter cheesecake dip is best served with buttery Ritz crackers, Nutter Butter sandwich cookies, chocolate wafer cookies, or apple slices.
Don’t you just love a good dessert dip? I love how you can whip up this cheesecake dip in just 5-10 minutes, sprinkle on the toppings, assemble it on a serving tray with fun dippers and serve to a group of smiling faces.
Key Ingredients:
Cream Cheese – softened, of course! This adds to cheesecake element
Brown Sugar – I love dark brown sugar for the deeper molasses flavor
Peanut Butter – use an emulsified creamy version (like Jif or Skippy)
Vanilla Extract – be sure to use real vanilla extract and not flavoring
Whipped Cream – homemade whipped cream is used which is a combination of heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Toppings – I love to add a variety of Reese’s from the mini cups to the large cups, Reese’s Pieces, and mini chocolate chips. You can be as creative as you wish.
Dippers – also so many options here from apples to crackers and cookies (see my full list of ideas below)
How to Make This Dessert Dip:
Step 1: In a large bowl, blend cream cheese and brown sugar together using a hand mixer. Once it’s smooth and creamy, blend in peanut butter and vanilla extract. The texture will not be a bit thicker.
Step 2: Fold in prepared homemade whipped cream (or Cool Whip if you prefer). It’s important to fold in the whipped cream in increments by hand with a silicone spatula to avoid it deflating.
Step 3: Place the peanut butter cheesecake dip into a serving bowl and decorate the top with your toppings of choice and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve on a serving plate with the dippers.
