Your Cheesecake Dip Needs A Hint Of Coffee Creamer

Cheesecake dip combines all the sweet, tangy, rich components of its classic namesake dessert into a spread — all within a few minutes. While it doesn't take much time to make, its success hinges on the ingredients you use. Cream cheese is an important part, of course, but the key to great cheesecake dip is a splash of coffee creamer.

Without creamer, a cup of coffee is plain, bitter, and far too strong; adding a hint of the liquid improves it vastly, taking it from a boring beverage to something full of flavor with a luscious texture. Although cheesecake dip is already sweet, coffee creamer brings a similar effect to the dessert. It amps up the taste while providing it with a velvety texture. Typically, the dip calls for milk to make it easier to whip. Creamer stands in place of it; it's thin enough to make the cream cheese simple to mix, but it still helps maintain the thick texture of the treat.

It's a creative way to use coffee creamer all while making a simple, no-frills dessert. All you need to do is mix the cream cheese and creamer together until they thicken. Afterwards, mix in some whipped topping then finish off with whatever add-ins you'd like to use. You can sprinkle in anything from cinnamon sugar and nuts to chopped pretzels and a drizzle or two of chocolate syrup.

Aside from the texture, one of the benefits of using coffee creamer rather than milk is the variety of flavors the ingredient comes in. We already love to add a splash of coffee creamer in smoothies to give it a sweet boost and thicker texture, so it's a no brainer for cheesecake dip. If you have a collection of various flavors, you can whip up a new type of cheesecake dip every day.

For a classic cheesecake dip, using a vanilla creamer is the best choice. To boost the sweetness, you can also add in some powdered sugar. The creamer provides all the flavoring you could possibly need, but feel free to add in vanilla extract, as well. Top off the cheesecake dip with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mixed berries. If you want to incorporate a different type of flavor, use two types of creamer. Caramel or cookies and cream works alongside vanilla, too.

Caramel-flavored creamer would also be perfect in caramel pecan cheesecake fruit dip. Although the recipe doesn't originally call for coffee creamer, adding a splash of it complements the creamy texture while amping up the caramel sauce that goes into it. When beating the cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, yogurt, and caramel sauce, pour in the coffee creamer along with it. To switch things up, you can opt for cinnamon or hazelnut-flavored creamer instead.
