Frequently Asked Questions
My dip is too thick! How can I thin it out?
If your dip seems too thick for scooping, try stirring in a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the dip runny.
Is it safe to eat the brownie mix used in the dip?
Yes! You’ll be heat-treating the brownie mix in the microwave; this will kill off any bacteria in the flour so that it’s safe to eat.
Trish’s Tips
- Softened cream cheese mixes better and creates a smoother dip. Remove it from the fridge for about 30 minutes before you start mixing.
- Letting the dip chill for at least an hour allows the flavors to meld and creates a thicker consistency that’s perfect for scooping.
- The milk helps to thin out the mix and achieve the perfect scooping consistency. Add it gradually until you reach your desired texture.
