Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup chopped Andes mints (plus extra for topping)
  • Green food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Base: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and mint extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring the mint flavor is evenly distributed.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed to combine fully, creating a smooth, sweet mixture.
  3. Color and Fold in Topping: Add green food coloring, if desired, to achieve a minty pastel color. Then gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula to keep the dip light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in Chocolate and Mints: Stir in the mini chocolate chips and chopped Andes mints until evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  5. Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with additional chopped Andes mints on top. Serve chilled with your favorite dippers like cookies, graham crackers, or fruit.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth texture without lumps.
  • Adjust the amount of powdered sugar if you prefer a less sweet or more sweet dip.
  • For stronger mint flavor, add a few extra drops of mint extract cautiously, as it can be potent.
  • Green food coloring is optional but adds a festive touch to the presentation.
  • Refrigerate the dip covered if not serving immediately; it keeps well up to 2 days.
  • This dip pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit, cookies, graham crackers, or pretzels.
