This easy brownie batter dip is made with boxed brownie mix, cool whip and cream cheese. That’s right – it contains just THREE ingredients! Let’s dive into how to whip this together in just a few minutes.
Quick Tips

- After heat treating the brownie mix, make sure that it cools off before mixing it with the cool whip and cream cheese
- Add chocolate chips or other chopped candies to the brownie batter dip if desired!
Equipment
- Hand or stand mixer

How to make Brownie Batter Dip
This brownie batter dip is so easy to make and can be whipped together in just a few minutes with two simple steps!
- Heat treat the brownie mix
- Mix all the ingredients together
How to heat treat the brownie mix
NOTE: brownie mix contains raw flour, which is unsafe to consume raw. So, to eat this brownie batter dip safely, you should heat the brownie mix to at least 165 degrees to kill any potentially harmful bacteria.
To heat treat the brownie mix in the microwave, pour the mix into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for three 45 second increments (2 minutes 15 seconds total), mixing well between each increment. Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the edges while mixing.
To heat treat the brownie mix in the oven, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pour the brownie mixture evenly throughout the cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes, stirring once after 4 minutes.
Once you have heated the brownie mix, I recommend sifting it to remove any clumps that formed while heating. Mixing well with a whisk or fork will help break up the clumps too.
Allow the mix to cool completely before making the brownie batter dip.
How to mix all the ingredients together
Place the softened cream cheese in a medium-large mixing bowl and use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream it until smooth. Scrape down the bowl once complete.
Next, add the cool whip and beat the mixture until well combined.
Finally, add the cooled brownie mix. Beat well for 1-2 minutes, or until smooth. Top with chocolate chips or additional candies if desired and serve! This dip should be stored in the fridge.
Add-ins for the Brownie Batter Dip
If you would like to keep your brownie batter dip smooth and simple, there’s no need to add anything else to the dip itself (also take care on what type of brownie mix you buy, as some will contain chocolate chips). But, if you would like to add more yummy treats to the dip, try these options below!

Hi Jackie,
I am so excited to try your brownie batter dip. I have never seen anything like that before. I am just curious why you need to heat treat the brownie mix?
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have loved everything of yours I have made. Keep up the good work!
Great question! Any time that we consume raw flour (the brownie mix isn’t cooked in this recipe), we should heat-treat it to ensure that you don’t get salmonella. It most LIKELY is totally fine to eat without heat-treating, but it’s always better to be safe!
