FAQs

What is heat-treated flour and why do I need it?

Heat-treated flour is regular all-purpose flour that has been heated to kill any potential bacteria. This makes it safe to consume raw in recipes like cookie dough dip. To heat-treat flour, simply bake it at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches 160°F (71°C).

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes! In fact, the dip tastes even better after chilling for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. You can make it a day ahead and store it in the fridge.

Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of mini chocolate chips?

Absolutely! Regular-sized chocolate chips will work just as well. Mini chocolate chips are used for a more evenly distributed texture, but you can use what you have on hand.

Can I make this dip without cream cheese?

If you prefer, you can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone cheese for a slightly different flavor, or use Greek yogurt for a tangy twist. However, this will change the flavor profile of the dip.

How do I keep this dip from being too runny?

To maintain the right consistency, make sure the butter and cream cheese are well-beaten, and that the mixture is chilled for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the dip to firm up slightly.

Can I freeze this dip?

Freezing is not recommended for this dip, as the texture of the whipped topping and cream cheese may change after thawing. It’s best enjoyed fresh or within a few days of making it.

What can I serve with this dip?

Serve this dip with graham crackers, pretzels, fruit (like apple slices or strawberries), or cookies for dipping. It’s also great with marshmallows or even spooned on top of ice cream for an extra treat!
