Easy Cheesecake Dip Recipe
You all know I’m a fan of my no bake cheesecake, so I thought why not make it into a dip for an easy party appetizer. This cheesecake dip has become a family favorite and I love to bring it to holiday gatherings and social events. I could eat it by the spoonful like my favorite cream cheese frosting.
This is one of those no bake desserts where I always have the ingredients on hand (at least for one of the variations), so it’s a great last minute treat! You could even cut the recipe in half if you just want a little treat for a small get together.
I’ve got a few different ways to make this cheesecake dip recipe for you today, but I have to say the caramel pecan served with waffle crisps is my favorite dessert dip!
Ingredient Notes
All you need are 5 simple ingredients for a creamy no-bake cheesecake dip recipe!
Find the full printable recipe with measurements below.
- Cream cheese: This is the real star of the show and is what makes this dip so creamy and tangy.
- Salted butter: I like to use salted butter to help enhance all the other flavors. Be sure it is softened, but not melted when mixing.
- Powdered sugar: This sugar practically melts into the cream cheese and adds just the right amount of sweetness.
- Light brown sugar: I love the depth of flavor brown sugar adds and I highly suggest using both sugars to achieve the perfect balance.
- Vanilla extract: Just a little bit helps balance the tang of the cream cheese.
- Optional mix-ins: I love the texture that mini chocolate chips add mini M&M’s, chopped Reese’s, nuts, caramel or chocolate sauce are great.

So glad you enjoyed the cheesecake dip!
I am in love with you. This recipe was unlike any other.
Thanks for the review!
I love how easy and versatile this dip is! I can mix it up, pending my cravings and mood of the day! Such a fantastic starting point, and I love seeing all the unique ways to enhance the dip. Thank you!
This is a MUST in our home for Valentines Day! This Year I made it for the teachers at school for their teachers party, paired with a fruit charcuterie. It was a hit!
Love this stuff! Tastes amazing, omg.
Super easy and super delicious. my guests RAVED about it!
Awesome! Glad it was a hit :)
How could I serve this dip for individual prepared servings?
Would I make individual muffin graham crusts or would dip be too soft?
Ideas?
You could just portion it out into mini plastic cups and add some crushed graham crackers on top :)
I know this is old now, but when I make individual cheesecakes & use a vanilla wafer in the bottom of a cupcake liner. They are the perfect size & taste amazing with cheesecake.
Yummy!
I absolutely love this easy, no bake dessert. Perfect for summer fuss free parties!
I’ll be making this for Father’s Day this weekend! My husband is going to love it! Thanks for the recipe
LOVE this cheesecake dip! How long would this keep in the fridge?
About 3-4 days.
DEEEEELICISH!!!
This is good and so easy! I just made it simple and can’t wait for the family to try it tomorrow!
So glad you enjoyed it :)
Has anyone tried this with the “whipped” cream cheese? Just wondered if it worked just as good!
I think it would change the texture of the dip quite a bit, but it should still work!
Would this be fine to make 24 hours in advance??? Looks perfect for a party!
I think you can definitely make the cheesecake dip base in advance, but I would wait to add the toppings until the day of. Just give the cheesecake dip a stir and then add the toppings before serving! Hope you enjoy! :)
Oh yes, so good!! I need to try ALL OF THESE!!
Okay, that caramel pecan version has me DROOLING over here!! I cannot stop eating!
