Here’s how to make it:

First step is to melt the chocolate chips. You can do this over a double boiler, but I find it easiest to simply melt in the microwave at 50% power in 1 minute increments, stirring after each minute, until they are melted and smooth.
The melted chocolate gets combined with the rest of the ingredients and blended together using an electric mixer. That’s it!

Recipe tips:

This chocolate fruit dip is rather thick, especially if served colder than room temperature, so you’ll need to serve it with a strong cookie that can put up a fight, like a biscotti, and if serving with soft fruit like strawberries and raspberries, your best bet is to serve it with a spreader.
Be sure the cream cheese is softened before you mix it. You can do this by leaving out on the counter for at least an hour, or you can microwave at low power for about 30 seconds.
Be sure to mix very slowly at first to avoid having all of the powdered sugar and cocoa powder fly out of the bowl.
Any kind of chocolate chip will work, so whether you choose milk, dark, or semi-sweet chocolate is a matter of preference.
