- Add Sweetener and Flavor: Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract while mixing, tasting and adjusting sweetness as desired.
- Incorporate Extras: If using chocolate chips, finely chopped fruit, or nuts, gently fold them into the dip to retain texture.
- Chill Before Serving: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the texture and meld flavors.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Adjust sweetness gradually to avoid overpowering flavors.
- Chilling the dip intensifies flavor and improves consistency.
- Dry fruit well before dipping to prevent thinning the dip.
- Serve the dip at the right temperature – avoid too cold or too warm.
