Cheesecake Dip

When I get really busy, but I still want to or need to make dessert, I look for a few things in a recipe. For instance:

●      Is it easy?

●      Is it fast?

●      Do I have to buy a lot of ingredients?

●      Will I have to turn on my oven?

That’s why dessert dips like this cheesecake dip are so wonderful. No cooking, super quick, super simple, just four ingredients, and completely delicious!

Cheesecake dip is my favorite thing to bring to a party because everyone raves about it! It’s also extremely versatile. Use your favorite mix-ins (different berries, chocolate chips, candy pieces, etc.). Or serve it up plain.

Dessert dips are some of my favorite sweets. Suppose you want to serve a few variations at your next get-together or just want inspiration. In that case, I recommend trying out other cheesecake dips like coconut cream pie, lemon cream pie, peppermint, gingerbread, Andes mint, chocolate chip, and cream cheese caramel apple
