Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup festive sprinkles or crushed candy canes
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat the flour: Spread 1 cup all-purpose flour on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 15-20 seconds until it reaches 160°F (71°C). Let cool completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
  4. With the mixer on low, slowly pour in heavy cream. Increase speed to medium and beat for about 1 minute until lighter and fluffier.
  5. Add the cooled, heat-treated flour to the bowl. Mix on low speed just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
  6. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in mini chocolate chips and festive sprinkles or crushed candy canes. If using nuts, fold them in now.
  7. For best texture, cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes before serving. (Optional but recommended.)
  8. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with extra sprinkles if desired, and serve with dippers of choice.

Notes

Heat-treating the flour is crucial to kill bacteria. Soften butter and cream cheese to room temperature for best texture. The dip can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving if chilled.
