Tips For Making The Best Dessert Dip

Add milk as needed to achieve a thinner consistency.
This dessert dip can be made up to two days ahead. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

What To Serve With Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Dip

Cut up fresh fruit, such as apples, bananas or strawberries.
Graham crackers, chocolate cookies, or other thin, crispy cookies.
Pretzels, for a salty-sweet bite.
As part of a dessert board or fruit platter.
A spoon, and only a spoon.

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale

½ cup cottage cheese
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup natural peanut butter (made with just peanuts and salt)
2 tbsp cocoa powder (I use dark cocoa powder)
3 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch fine sea salt
½ cup mini peanut butter cups, roughly chopped (I like dark chocolate peanut butter cups)
For serving: fruit, pretzels, graham crackers, etc.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients except for peanut butter cups in a blender (like a Vitamix) or food processor (like this one). Blend until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed with a silicone spatula (like these).
Gently stir in most of the peanut butter cups, reserving a few for garnish.
Spoon dip into a serving dish and sprinkle with remaining peanut butter cups. Serve with fresh fruit, pretzels, or cookies/crackers of choice.
If you are not serving immediately, store dip in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Notes

Dip may take a few minutes to get completely smooth. Be patient, and stop to scrape down the sides as necessary.
Add milk as needed to achieve a thinner consistency.
This dessert dip can be made up to two days ahead. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Use stevia-sweetened peanut butter cups, such as Lily's Sweets, for a completely refined sugar-free recipe.
