S'mores Dip
S'mores Dip is a quick and easy dessert made with whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, toasted mini marshmallows, and swirls of warm hot fudge, topped with graham cracker crumbs and served with graham crackers for dipping. It delivers all the classic campfire s'mores flavors in a creamy, shareable dip that comes together in minutes.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ to 2 cups mini marshmallows
- ⅓ to ½ cup hot fudge sauce slightly warmed for swirling
- Graham cracker crumbs for sprinkling optional
- Graham crackers for dipping or other dippers you like
Instructions
- Set the cream cheese out for 20 to 30 minutes so it softens. Lightly grease or spray a shallow serving dish, small skillet, or pie plate if you like easier cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer or sturdy whisk until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides so everything is evenly mixed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Spread the mini marshmallows into a loose, even layer. Place the sheet under your oven broiler on the middle rack. Broil for 30 to 60 seconds, watching very closely, until the tops are golden and toasty. They can go from perfect to burned quickly, so do not walk away.
- Let the toasted marshmallows cool for about 1 to 2 minutes; they should still be warm and gooey but not scorching hot. Use a spatula to gently fold the marshmallows into the cream cheese mixture. You want a mix of streaks and pockets of marshmallow rather than stirring them into a completely smooth dip.
- Spread the marshmallow cream cheese mixture into your serving dish in an even layer. Warm the hot fudge slightly so it is pourable but not runny; about 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave usually works. Spoon the hot fudge over the dip in swirls. Drag a knife or toothpick through the fudge and marshmallow layer to create a pretty marbled look.
- Serve the easy smores dip slightly warm or at cool room temperature with plenty of graham crackers. Add extra dippers if you like; think pretzels, vanilla wafers, or sliced strawberries for a fun twist.
