Easy Brownie Batter Dessert Dip
Our girls have started cooking more and more, and while I love it I also want to make sure that it always stays fun and not merely a means to eat. We found this darling new cookbook by Aimee from Like Mother Like Daughter called 50 Fixes for Brownie Mixes and knew it would be just perfect for Friday movie nights.
One of the most important things we want to teach our children is that family matters. We spend time together, we talk about silly stuff, real stuff and future stuff.
A good friend once told me that her mother taught her that her siblings were her best friends and if ever it became clear that siblings weren’t being nice to each other or constantly wanting to be with friends and not family then they had a few days where it was sister time and they could only play with each other. What a lovely idea! To this day they are all the best of friends and that’s something to admire.
We now choose to do the same. In fact, our girls have been having sister dates. I take them somewhere and just sit back and watch them choose ice cream together or whatever.
I’m getting off topic, this brownie cookbook was a great chance for our girls to spend time together doing something fun. They can choose to cook from the cookbook whenever they want as long as it’s together. It’s so fun trying their new creations and this last weekend it was brownie batter dip. This chocolate dip is so good!!
The whole cookbook is loaded with beautiful pictures, easy recipes, and it’s all thanks to brownies — Cade’s Achilles heal. 😉 So maybe this Christmas do the same for your kids and just see what happens when they start making memories and yummy food together.

What to Serve with Brownie Batter Dessert Dip
One of the things I love most about this easy chocolate dessert is that it pairs well with pretty much anything! A few of our favorite things to dip into this easy holiday dessert recipe are:
- Pretzels or pretzel chips
- Cinnamon sugar pita chips
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, banana, and apple slices)
- Cookies (store-bought or homemade)
- Nilla wafers
- Marshmallows
- Graham crackers
Can I Prep Brownie Dessert Dip in Advance?
Yes! This easy party dessert can be made up to one day in advance. You’ll want to wrap it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it.
Can I Freeze Brownie Batter Dessert Dip?
No, I don’t recommend freezing this chocolate dip. The cream cheese will break down in the freezer and the dip would change texture once thawed.
Is There a Cool Whip Substitute I Can Use?
We’ve only ever made this brownie batter dip recipe as written, so I can’t say for sure. You may be able to use homemade whipped cream in place of the Cool Whip. Please let me know if you try this method!
Tips for Making Brownie Batter Dessert Dip
For the richest, creamiest chocolate dip, you’ll want to use full-fat cream cheese that comes in a brick. The cream cheese also needs to come to room temperature before making this easy holiday dessert, otherwise the dip won’t whip up correctly.
You may be tempted to leave out those mini chocolate chips, but do not do it!!! They take the recipe from good to amazing. It breaks up the flavor and I found myself digging for them.
Lastly, note that you’ll be adding the boxed brownie mix to the chocolate dessert dip as a dry ingredient. Do NOT add the oil, eggs, or water that the box calls for! Just dump the mix straight from the box into the dip.
