Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons hot cocoa mix (from about 4 packets, 1.38-oz each)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

For Serving (Optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Holiday sprinkles
  • Oreos
  • Graham crackers
  • Shortbread cookies
  • Peppermint sandwich cookies
  • Whole strawberries

Instructions

  1. Beat the Cream Cheese and Marshmallow Fluff: In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the room temperature cream cheese and marshmallow fluff together on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 1 minute. This step ensures a smooth and airy base for your dip.
  2. Add Cocoa Ingredients: Lower the mixer speed to low, then add the hot cocoa mix, heavy cream, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Beat gently for 1 to 2 minutes until all ingredients are just combined, preventing splattering and allowing dry ingredients to incorporate evenly.
  3. Whip Until Smooth: Increase the mixer speed back to medium-high and continue beating for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Mix until the dip is smooth, creamy, and all the cocoa mix has fully dissolved, giving it a rich chocolate flavor and fluffy texture.
  4. Serve with Toppings and Dippers: Transfer the finished hot cocoa fluff into a serving bowl. If desired, top with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and holiday sprinkles for an extra festive touch. Provide an assortment of cookies and fresh strawberries on the side for dipping and enjoying.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent lumps and achieve a smooth dip.
  • Adjust the amount of hot cocoa mix depending on desired chocolate intensity.
  • This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir gently before serving.
  • Use different cookies or dippers to cater to guests’ preferences or dietary restrictions.
  • For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, but the texture may be less fluffy.
