Base Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 8-ounce container whipped topping
Mix-Ins and Garnish
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup chopped Andes mints (plus more for topping)
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Beat the cream cheese and mint extract: In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat together the cream cheese and mint extract until smooth and fully combined, ensuring a creamy and minty base for the dip.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud, blending it completely into the cream cheese mixture for sweetness.
- Tint and fold in whipped topping: If desired, tint the mixture with green food coloring to give a festive minty hue. Gently fold in the whipped topping to maintain its light, fluffy texture.
- Combine mix-ins: Stir in the mini chocolate chips and chopped Andes mints evenly throughout the dip, adding bursts of chocolate and mint flavor.
- Garnish and serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle additional chopped Andes mints on top for an attractive presentation. Serve chilled with cookies, graham crackers, or fruit for dipping.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother dip.
- Adjust mint extract to taste for more or less mint intensity.
- For a thicker dip, chill for at least 1 hour before serving to firm up the texture.
- Green food coloring is optional but adds a fun, festive look.
- This dip pairs well with graham crackers, pretzels, or fresh fruit slices.
