- Vanilla – Real vanilla extract.
- Optional mix ins – Mini chocolate chips, cocoa powder, crumbled oreos, crumbled freeze dried strawberries or mangoes, apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice.
- For dipping – Fresh fruit (strawberries and sliced apples are my favorite), graham crackers, cookies (like animal crackers or our shortbread cookies!).

Preparation
Can you creamy cheesecake dip ahead of time?

What mix-ins can I add to cheesecake dip?
Try mini chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, crumbled oreos, or bits of freeze dried fruits.
You can also make it a chocolate cheesecake dip by beating in cocoa powder or a packet of hot cocoa mix. Go seasonal with a scoop of pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice!
Swirl in a can of fruit pie filling like blueberry or cherry pie filling. Top with our cinnamon fried apples, or stir in some lemon curd.
Is it safe to eat raw cheesecake batter?
No, cheesecake batter has raw eggs and raw flour and therefore should not be consumed. That’s why we recommend making this dip if you love the flavor of cheesecake!
Blend with an electric mixer.
