Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (natural)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (mini or regular size)
- 1/4 cup heavy coconut cream (plant-based)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Place plant-based cream cheese and heavy coconut cream in a large mixing bowl. Beat together until completely smooth and creamy using an electric mixer or whisk.
- Sweeten the mixture: Add powdered sugar (natural sweetener) and vanilla extract (natural) to the creamy base. Mix until fully incorporated and texture resembles soft frosting.
- Add the natural gelling agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent evenly over the mixture. Whisk gently to blend seamlessly and achieve a dip consistency that holds but remains scoopable.
- Mix in lemon juice: Pour in fresh lemon juice and gently fold it into the mixture to introduce a subtle tang that balances sweetness.
- Incorporate chocolate chips: Fold in chocolate chips carefully to evenly disperse without breaking, ensuring delightful chocolate crunch in every bite.
Notes
- Let plant-based cream cheese soften at room temperature for smoother mixing and enhanced flavor.
- Whipping coconut cream separately before folding in can add extra fluffiness.
- Mini chocolate chips distribute more evenly for consistent bites.
- Taste and adjust powdered sugar to your preference.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to meld flavors and firm up slightly.
