Sweet Cream Cheese Dip Recipe
Description
The Sweet Cream Cheese Dip Recipe combines cream cheese and unsalted butter beaten until fluffy, then mixed with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt. Adding heavy cream yields a creamy consistency that’s both rich and smooth. The dip’s balanced sweetness and soft texture make it an ideal topping for fruits like strawberries or apple slices, or a complement to baked goods such as cinnamon rolls or soft pretzels. It can be refrigerated and used within a few days or warmed slightly to create a glaze for pastries. The recipe produces about 1 1/2 cups, enough to serve six people with a modest portion each.
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 3 Tbsp butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup powdered sugar whisked to remove lumps
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional
- kosher salt pinch
- 2 Tbsp heavy cream half and half or whole milk can be substituted
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add cream cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer to beat cream cheese and butter on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt and mix until combined.
- Add heavy cream and beat until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Store in refrigerator in an airtight container, or use immediately.
- Dip can also be warmed in the microwave if you wanted a warm glaze (such as the glaze that comes with cinnamon sugar soft pretzels).
Notes
- This recipe yields about 1 1/2 cups, suitable for approximately six servings.
- You can warm the dip briefly in the microwave to create a glaze, such as for cinnamon sugar soft pretzels.
