Make it Ahead of Time Suggestions

Preparing this easy no bake dessert ahead of time can be the best way to go to be able to enjoy it whenever.

  • Make Ahead: Prepare the dip up to 2-3 days in advance. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, let it sit out at room temperature to soften slightly, to make it easier to scoop.
  • Fruit: You can cut and prepare fruit in advance for the dip.

How to Store and Use Leftovers

  • Store: Store any leftover dip in an airtight container, or covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Freeze small portion cups for frozen bite-size dessert puffs.
  • Use Leftovers: Leftovers can be repurposed in many ways!
    • Cookie “Sandwich”: Spread the dip between two cookies (like Nilla Wafers or graham crackers) for a quick and easy treat.
    • Frosting: Serve this dip as a frosting for cupcakes or a filling for crepes.
    • On a Spoon: Let’s be honest, it’s also a delicious sweet treat all by itself, right out of the container!

Common Questions About This Delicious Dip

How and Why do I Heat Treat Flour?

It’s important to heat treat raw flour to kill harmful bacteria. To do so, spread the flour out on a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes, stirring it halfway to prevent burning. Flour is done when it reaches 165°F.

Can I Make the Recipe Dairy Free or Lower in Sugar?

Yes, you can do both! Make it dairy-free by using dairy-free milk, butter and chocolate chips, or make it low sugar by using a sugar-free sweetener and sugar-free chips.

Christina’s Notes

  • Heat-Treat Flour First: Always microwave or bake the flour to 165°F to make it safe for no-bake recipes.
  • Use Mini Chips: They distribute better throughout the dip and give more chocolate in every bite.
  • Let It Chill (Optional): Chilling helps the flavors meld and gives it a thicker texture if preferred.
  • Mix By Hand for Control: A spoon or spatula helps keep the texture fluffy and prevents overmixing.

    • Raw flour is loaded with bacteria. Normally, we bake it in recipes and those bacteria are killed. When making cookie dough and/or dip for eating raw, it’s best practices to bake the flour and kill that bacteria.
