Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese
  • 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 more for topping)

Optional

  • Green food coloring

Instructions

  1. Beat cream cheese and mint extract: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the 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 to the bowl and beat on low speed until fully combined and smooth, avoiding sugar clouds.
  3. Tint and fold in whipped topping: Add green food coloring a few drops at a time until the desired minty green color is achieved. Then gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula to maintain a light, airy texture.
  4. Mix in chocolates and Andes mints: Stir in the mini chocolate chips and chopped Andes mints evenly throughout the dip, incorporating the minty crunch and chocolate bits.
  5. Serve and garnish: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with extra chopped Andes mints if desired. Serve chilled with cookies, graham crackers, or fruit for dipping.

Notes

  • For best results, use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth texture.
  • Adjust the amount of mint extract to your preference; start with 1 teaspoon and add more if desired.
  • This dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Try different dippers like pretzels, vanilla wafers, or apple slices for variety.
  • Green food coloring is optional but adds a festive look, especially for holidays.
