Instructions
 

  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat together cream cheese and butter. Be sure to scrape down sides of bowl to ensure full incorporation.
  • With mixer on low speed, add in powdered sugar a bit at a time, doing your best not to powder your countertops. Add in vanilla and almond extracts. Add kosher salt to taste.
  • Eat using whatever vehicle you prefer - spoon, graham cracker, apple slice, pretzel, breakfast quesadilla or your fingers. Don’t worry, I won’t judge.

Notes

  • This recipe kept in our fridge for 10 days, and that was with great restraint. I have a feeling it would be fine for up to a month, but I doubt it'll last that long... It's too tasty!

Optional Variations

  • Vegan - Swap in your favorite plant-based cream cheese and butter.
  • Keto/Diabetic-Friendly - Use sugar-free alternatives like this and this.
  • Strawberry, Raspberry, or [Insert Your Favorite Jam] Cheesecake Dip - Swirling in up to ⅓ cup your favorite jam or jelly will add tons of flavor and a bright pop of color.
  • Cherry Cheesecake Dip - Chop ⅓ cup of cherries in syrup (I love Trader Joe's Morello Cherries). Add 3 tablespoons of the syrup to the dip and fold in the cherries.
  • Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip - Add 3 tablespoons of canned pure pumpkin purée and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
  • Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip - Fold in ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips.
  • Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip - Swirl in 3 tablespoons each of apple butter and salted caramel sauce.
  • Consider other add-ins like citrus zest, crushed Oreos, peanut butter, toffee bits, toasted nuts, sprinkles, or instant espresso powder. The flavor possibilities are as endless as your imagination!
