Fast and Easy Cheesecake Dip

You all know I’m a fan of my no bake cheesecake, so I thought why not make a dip for an easy party appetizer. This dip will quickly become a family favorite and one you will bring to all your holiday gatherings and social events. It is so good I could eat it by the spoonful like my favorite cream cheese frosting.

This is one of those no bake desserts where I always have the ingredients on hand (at least for one of the variations), so it’s a great last minute treat! You could even cut the recipe in half if you just want a little treat for a small get together.

I’ve got a few different ways to make this cheesecake dip for you today, but I have to say the caramel pecan is my favorite! Especially with those waffle crisps.

Just 5 Ingredients

That is all it takes to make a no-bake cheesecake dip the entire family will love.

  • Cream cheese: This is the real star of the show and is what makes this dip so creamy and tangy.
  • Salted butter: I like to use salted butter to help enhance all the other flavors. Be sure it is softened, but not melted when mixing.
  • Powdered sugar: This sugar practically melts into the cream cheese and adds just the right amount of sweetness.
  • Light brown sugar: I love the depth of flavor brown sugar adds and I highly suggest using both sugars to achieve the perfect balance.
  • Vanilla extract: Just a little bit helps balance the tang of the cream cheese.
  • Mini chocolate chips: I love the texture and sweetness the mini chocolate chips add, but you can swap them for any mix-in you prefer.

Optional Mix-Ins

  • Mini M&M’s
  • Chopped Reese’s
  • Chopped nuts
  • Caramel
  • Chocolate sauce

Typically a no-bake cheesecake is made up of cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. I have taken my favorite ingredients from this and turned it into a fun dessert.
