Tips & Tricks
- This simple Nutella dip is great for serving with a fruit platter at parties or other get togethers.
- You can also make this chocolate fruit dip without cream cheese. Use vanilla yogurt or Greek yogurt as a substitute. Add enough to get your desired consistency for the dip.
- You can also use regular sized chocolate chips if you don’t have mini chips available. Ch0colate shavings are another option too. Diced strawberris also make a great garnish for this dip.
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing. This will help you to get a smooth and lump-free mixture.
- You can use a stand mixer or an electric mixer to blend the ingredients together. If you don’t have either, you can just use a spatula or mixing spoon. It will just take a bit more work on your part.
