  • pineapple

The Perfect Winter Dessert/Treat

Even though the holiday season is over, winter is still around and that means hot cocoa is a must! Extend the hot chocolate season with a festive favorite no bake dessert that can be made the day before and stays fresh over a week!

INGREDIENTS

☼ Cream Cheese – Adds a nice creamy texture and a cheesecake like flavor.

☼ Hot Chocolate Mix – You can make your own hot chocolate mix or use a prepackaged mix. You’ll need 1½ cups of mix.

☼ Marshmallow Fluff – a light and fluffy marshmallow crème that has the taste and texture of melted marshmallows.

☼ Cool Whip – This is a non-dairy whipped topping found in the freezer section near the desserts.

☼ Hot Fudge Sauce – This ingredient is optional. The fudge sauce will add a deeper chocolate flavor. You can use store bought or follow my recipe for homemade.

How to Make Hot Chocolate Dip

Hot Chocolate Dip
When I think of a cup of hot chocolate, I think of a creamy hot cocoa with lots of mini marshmallows on top. This dip combines all those things into one bite.
  1. Whip together the cream cheese and hot chocolate mix until light and fluffy.
  2. Add thawed cool whip, mix until combined.
  3. Add marshmallow creme and hot fudge sauce, mix until combined.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap.
  5. Store in the refrigerator (without the garnish) until ready to serve.
  6. Add a drizzle of hot fudge sauce and mini marshmallows on top.

With Hot Fudge Sauce verses Without Hot Fudge Sauce

Hot Chocolate Dip

WITHOUT HOT FUDGE SAUCE: I have made this dip with and without hot fudge. Here is what I found out. The dip without the hot fudge sauce lends to an airy textured dip with only a slight chocolate flavor. If you choose to skip the hot fudge I would recommend using a dark chocolate hot chocolate mix.

WITH HOT FUDGE SAUCE: When the hot fudge sauce is added, it transforms the hot chocolate dip into a marshmallow chocolate dream.
