Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp mint extract
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- green Gel food coloring
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Andes mints (whole or chopped for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl or stand mixer. Mix on medium speed until fully blended.
- Add mint extract and mix for 30 seconds to incorporate it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add the Cool Whip and fold it into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula.
- Once everything is well mixed, stir in the green food coloring a little at a time until it's the color you want and evenly distributed throughout.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until well combined.
- Top with chopped Andes Mints then chill until ready to serve.
- Serve chilled with your favorite dippers like Oreo cookies, graham crackers, chocolate graham crackers, vanilla wafers, fresh fruit, and more!

Notes
- Measure out the mint extract somewhere other than directly over your bowl. You don’t want to accidentally spill more into the bowl or you’ll end up with this tasting more like toothpaste and less like a mint chocolate dip.
- Store this dip in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days, although it’s best enjoyed within 24 hours.
- Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer for the most smooth consistency. You just can’t get the cream cheese mixture as smooth as you want it by mixing with just your hand – well not unless you want to do it for a really long time.
