👩‍🍳 How to Make Cookie Dough Dessert Dip

🍎 What to Serve with Cookie Dough Dip

Half the fun of this recipe is choosing what to dip! Here are some family-favorite options:

- Graham crackers
- Nilla wafers
- Pretzel rods
- Apple slices
- Strawberries
- Animal crackers
- Vanilla sandwich cookies
- Pancake dippers

For parties, I like to create a small dessert board with sweet and salty options so everyone can grab what they like.

🕒 Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

This dip is perfect for prep-ahead entertaining.

- Make ahead: Up to 24 hours in advance

- Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days

- Transporting: Keep chilled with an ice pack

- Not freezer-friendly: Freezing changes the creamy texture

If it firms up too much in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.

💛 A Little Mom Life Note

Some of my kids’ favorite memories aren’t the elaborate desserts, they’re the silly little moments around the table. Letting them dip apples into cookie dough “dip” feels like a huge treat, even though it’s simple. And as a single mom who juggles work, school days, and everything in between, recipes like this are a lifesaver. No stress. No mess. Just a win all around.
