Prep the Ingredients — Remove cream cheese and butter from the refrigerator and allow them to soften up at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Using it ensures a good mix and a smooth texture
Beat the cream cheese & butter — In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium speed, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes. You can scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the Sugars & Vanilla – To the bowl, add in the brown sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Start mixing at low speed to avoid splattering, then increase to medium speed and beat until the mixture is fluffy and well combined, about 2 minutes.
Fold in the Chocolate Chips – With the mixer on low, stir in the chocolate chips. Stir just until they’re lightly speckled throughout the dip. Fold them in gently by hand instead with a spatula so that you don’t break them.
Chill for the Best Flavor – Transfer dip to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps to concentrate the flavors and to make the dip thicker and creamier.
Chill, Serve & Enjoy — After the dip has cooled, give it a stir, and turn it out into a serving dish. They can be served with fresh fruit, graham crackers, pretzels, or your favorite dippers. And savor each creamy, chocolaty bite!
