How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Dip
Strawberry cheesecake dip is super easy to mix up and can be ready for dipping in just about 5 minutes. I turn to this recipe any time I need a quick sweet treat! And everyone loves cheesecake! Sweet and fun to dip, it’s a dessert kids and adults enjoy.
- Beat Cream Cheese: Add the cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and beat it with a hand mixer at high speed until smooth.
- Mix in the Other Ingredients: Add the powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Add Strawberry Jam and Serve: Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a serving bowl and top with the strawberry jam. If desired, swirl the jam into it with a spoon or the back of a butter knife.
Mixing Tip
How do I avoid lumps? Whenever you use cream cheese and need it to be smooth, I always recommend scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl frequently. This will make sure it is all incorporated and smooth! You don’t want to leave bits stuck in the bowl and only scrape it down later after the other ingredients have been added. This will result in a lumpy dip.
Strawberry Cheesecake Dip Tips and Tricks
This strawberry cheesecake dessert dip is simple to make and perfectly sweet, creamy, and rich. It’s a great party snack that everyone will love! Follow these tips to make it a guaranteed hit every time!
- How soft should my cream cheese be? You can let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for up to an hour before preparing the dip. But you don’t want to soften it in the microwave or leave it out too long. If it is too soft, the dip will end up a little runny.
- Can I use my stand mixer? You may use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment instead of a hand mixer if you prefer.
- What is the best way to top my dip? Swirl in the jam, leave it spread right on top, or blend the jam completely into the cream cheese mixture. The choice is yours! I prefer the look of the jam swirled in, but there’s really no wrong way to do it.
- Change up the Jam Type: You can use strawberry preserves, jam, or jelly, depending on your preference! You could use freezer jam or this delicious homemade strawberry sauce!
- Can I change up the flavor? Feel free to use a different kind of jam or even spicy pepper jelly!
- Dipping Ideas: Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, waffle cone pieces, animal crackers, fudge stripe cookies, creme wafer cookies, digestives, strawberries, pretzels, apples, Oreos, pita chips, and shortbread cookies are all great options.
Leftover Strawberry Cheesecake Dip
- In the Refrigerator: Store leftover strawberry cheesecake dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. I recommend letting it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
- Make Ahead: To prepare this in advance, I recommend preparing the cream cheese mixture up to 2-3 days before serving. Leave the strawberry jam off until you are ready to serve it. Let the cream cheese mixture sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before either stirring well with a silicone spatula or beating briefly with a hand mixer to make sure it’s soft enough to dip. Top with the strawberry jam and serve.
