Creamy Buckeye Dip Dessert (Print Format)

Fluffy peanut butter and chocolate dip—easy, irresistible, and perfect for any festive dessert spread.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 8 oz room temperature cream cheese
02 - 1 cup powdered sugar
03 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
04 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter

→ Texture

05 - 8 oz whipped topping or heavy cream (substitute optional)
06 - 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

→ Topping

07 - Magic shell topping or homemade chocolate ganache

# Steps:

01 - In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed using an electric mixer. Mix for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
02 - Add the peanut butter to the cream cheese mixture and continue mixing on medium speed for about 2 minutes until fully combined into a thick and homogenous blend.
03 - Gently fold the whipped topping into the mixture with a spatula. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light, airy texture. This step should take about 1-2 minutes, resulting in a uniform and fluffy dip.
04 - Carefully stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dip. This process takes about 1 minute.
05 - Spoon the dip into a serving dish and smooth the surface with a spatula. Drizzle a generous amount of magic shell topping over the dip, creating a glossy, crackly layer.
06 - Cover the serving dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the topping to set. Ensure the topping has hardened slightly before serving.

# Tips:

01 - Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature for a smooth consistency.
02 - Chilling the dip ensures the magic shell topping achieves the desired texture.
03 - Fold the whipped topping gently to preserve airiness and lightness.
