Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 8oz. block cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (or melted chocolate chips for richer flavor)
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring (adjust to preference)
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside this whipped cream for folding later.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Add Flavorings: Add the vanilla extract, red food coloring, and cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture has a consistent, rich red velvet color.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold carefully to preserve the airy texture, creating a smooth and creamy dip. Adjust food coloring as desired for a deeper red hue.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dip until ready to serve. Enjoy it with your favorite dippers such as cookies, graham crackers, or fresh fruit, or simply eat it straight from the spoon!
Notes
- For a richer chocolate taste, substitute cocoa powder with melted chocolate chips.
- Adjust the red food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of red velvet.
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth dip without lumps.
- Serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
- This dip can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
