Hot Cocoa Dip Recipe

3 ingredient Hot Cocoa Dip Recipe is a fun way to enjoy the flavors of hot chocolate with your friends and family this winter.

Dessert Charcuterie

This Easy Hot Cocoa Dip Recipe is perfect for holiday parties with just 3 simple ingredients!

It's no secret that I love a sweet treat, but this time of year it's extra fun to go the extra mile to share a super cute and easy dessert with delicious hot chocolate flavor with your friends and family.

Charcuterie boards are some of my favorite things to have at gatherings. I like creating the sense of variety that's part of the usual meat and cheese board with all the little dippers I can think of. It's such a fun way to serve a delicious dessert.

For the best part - Create the little snowman to put on top of the dip like he's floating on a cup of hot chocolate for extra fun!

Ingredients

• Cream Cheese, room temperature--make sure it's very soft so you have no lumps
• Hot Cocoa Powder--use the regular instant hot chocolate mix in the packets
• Marshmallow Fluff--the kind used for making fudge

Dessert Charcuterie Items

• Large Marshmallows, for snowman
• Mini Marshmallows, for topping
• Mini Chocolate Chips, for the snowman's buttons
• White Almond Bark & Sprinkles for rimming the serving bowl
• Favorite Dippers-- Graham crackers, fresh fruit, animal crackers, vanilla wafers, candy canes, marshmallow bits, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate shavings, etc

How to Make Hot Cocoa Dip

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened creamed cheese and hot cocoa mix. Stir until combined. Fold in marshmallow cream until mixed.
2. Spoon into a serving bowl that has been dipped in white chocolate and sprinkles.
3. Serve with dippers of your choice.

Testers Tip

To keep fruits such as apples and bananas from browning, dip them in lemon juice and water mixture.

Substitutions and Variations

I love this version of dip, but another option for an easy holiday dessert is Fluffy Hot Cocoa Dip--Use a half container of Cool Whip instead of the marshmallow fluff. It's equally yummy!

Storing

Cover leftover dip with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. Store for 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
