Brownie Batter Dip

Brownie Batter Dip is a brownie recipe built around cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. Plan on 6 Servings and about 15 minutes.

• Yield 6 Servings
• Ready in 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese (light or regular, softened to room temperature)
• 1/4 cup butter (softened to room temperature)
• 2 cups powdered sugar (plus more for a stiffer consistency, if needed)
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 5 tablespoons cocoa powder (regular or Dutch-process)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2-4 tablespoons milk
• Chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
• Pretzels (strawberries, graham crackers, animal crackers, apples for dipping)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
2. Add 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Mix well.
3. Add the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons milk. Mix until fluffy and smooth.
4. Add additional powdered sugar and/or milk, if needed, until desired consistency is reached. The dip should be soft enough to easily dip a pretzel in (without breaking the pretzel!) but not so soft that it spreads out instead of holding it's shape in a fluffy cloud of brownie batter goodness.
5. Garnish with chocolate chips, if desired.

Cool the pan before you lift the squares.
