How To Make This Fluffy Green-Themed Cheesecake Dessert Dip

Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe

For the dip:

¼ cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 ounces light cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
A few drops green food coloring
2 tablespoons chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

For serving:

Graham crackers
Vanilla biscuits
Fresh fruit

Step-by-Step Guide

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and granulated sugar. Stir briefly to help dissolve the sugar, then whip using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

The cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters.

2. In a separate medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.

Mix until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to avoid lumps.

3. Begin adding green food coloring a few drops at a time, mixing well between additions. Continue until you reach your desired shade of green. Remember, you can always add more – but you can’t take it out!

4. Gently add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.

5. If you’d like a deeper green, you can add another tiny drop of food coloring at this stage and mix again.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dip. This adds a little texture and a sweet surprise in every bite.

7. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the dip to firm up and develop that classic cheesecake consistency.

8. Before serving, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for garnish. Serve with graham crackers, vanilla biscuits, or fresh fruit for dipping.

Important Recipe Notes

When using liquid food coloring, about 3–4 drops will give you a soft pastel green. Gel-based food coloring is more concentrated but may require a bit more mixing to achieve the same even hue. Start small and build gradually.
Even with light cream cheese, the dip firms up beautifully in the refrigerator. If you prefer a thicker, denser dip instead of a fluffier texture, substitute full-fat cream cheese.
For best flavor balance, serve with plain crackers or fruit that won’t overpower the cheesecake taste.
