A 5-ingredient, no-bake dessert dip that tastes just like brownie batter rich, creamy, and perfect for parties, movie nights, or a quick chocolate fix.
Place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium speed for 1–2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to remove any lumps. This step is crucial for a silky texture.
Add the fully thawed Cool Whip to the bowl with the cream cheese. Mix on low speed at first, then increase to medium speed until fully incorporated. The mixture should be light, fluffy, and uniform in color, with no streaks remaining.
Add the dry brownie mix to the bowl. Pour in the milk to help loosen the mixture. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase slightly until the dip is smooth and thick. Stop mixing as soon as everything is blended to avoid overworking the dip.
Using a spatula, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for garnish if desired. Folding (instead of mixing) helps maintain a fluffy, creamy consistency.
Serve immediately for a soft, scoopable texture, or refrigerate for 30 minutes if you prefer a slightly firmer dip. Garnish with reserved chocolate chips before serving.
