For serving: pretzels, graham crackers, apple slices, vanilla wafers
Instructions
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and beat until fully combined and fluffy.
Mix in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform.
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain.
Place the mixture into a serving bowl.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cheesecake dip. Use a knife or spoon to gently swirl the chocolate into the peanut butter mixture, creating a marbled effect. Do not overmix.
Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve cold with your choice of dippers.
Notes
For a sweeter dip, increase the powdered sugar to 1 1/4 cups.
If you prefer a thicker chocolate swirl, let the melted chocolate cool for 5 minutes before swirling it into the dip.
You can substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet if you desire a sweeter final product.
