5-Ingredient Chocolate Cheesecake Dip is seriously the easiest no-bake dessert you’ll make. It’s a crowd pleaser and the perfect dessert dip for every occasion!
I love cheesecake, but to be honest, it takes a lot of effort to make it from scratch – from grinding up the graham crackers into crumbs, pre-baking the crust, to whipping up the batter, then letting the cake bake, cool, and set. That’s a lot of work to do to satisfy my cheesecake cravings!
Guess what? Now you have to do all that, because you can get the exact indulgent flavor of chocolate cheesecake, in the form of a dip.
Chocolate Cheesecake Dip is a combination of cream cheese and heavy cream beat until light and fluffy, then sweetened with confectioners’ sugar.
It’s so delicious and decadent, it reminds me of the chocolate chip cannoli filling. Let’s just say it took a lot for me to stop myself from grabbing a spoon and eating it straight out of the bowl.
Not only will you love how this delicious dessert tastes, but you’ll also love that it is a no-bake recipe. Plus, it’s so quick and easy to make it — it only requires five ingredients! It’s the perfect crowd-pleasing dessert to take to any party or potluck. I can’t wait to make it for my next get together!

How should the dip be stored?
