Ingredients Snapshot
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (No one likes a lumpy dip – let that cream cheese warm up!)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream (Full fat is the way to go—don’t be shy)
- ½ cup powdered sugar (Because regular sugar is for amateurs)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (This is the secret to making it taste like heaven)
How to Make It
- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add in the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Beat on low for about 1-2 minutes to make sure that the powdered sugar doesn’t go flying everywhere.
- Crank it up to medium and blend until it’s as smooth and silky as you feel after eating it.
- Serve with your favorite fruit (or, let’s be real, anything else you want to dip in this magical creaminess).

Dip Making Tips
- Cream Cheese: Don’t forget to let it come to room temperature. Cold cream cheese leads to lumps. And nobody wants that.
- Whipping Cream: The higher the fat content, the richer and more decadent your dip will be. Go for it.
- Customize: Add a pinch of cinnamon or citrus zest to switch things up. Or keep it classic -it’s that good.
- Fruit Pairings: Apples, strawberries, pineapple… pretty much any fruit you can dip will thank you. But don’t stop there – this dip is amazing with cookies, pretzels, and more!
