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

Instructions
- 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.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the bowl and beat on low speed until fully combined and smooth, avoiding sugar clouds.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
