The 2-Ingredient Hot Chocolate Dip Perfect For Cozy Winter Nights

If there's one thing that screams winter coziness and warm hugs, it's hot chocolate. The rich, velvety taste of this iconic drink feels like sitting in front of a fire during a snow storm with Hallmark movies playing in the background. Something so good shouldn't be stuck with only one way to enjoy it. Which is why we're a fan of turning hot chocolate into the most indulgent dip you'll ever make. Enter the two-ingredient hot chocolate dip: a simple, fuss-free treat that promises all the chocolatey indulgence with none of the hassle.

This genius recipe (made of only chocolate chips and heavy cream) makes whipping up a crowd-pleasing dessert ridiculously easy so you'll never have to worry about prepping for guests hours in advance again. Whether you're planning a cozy family night in, searching for a way to make your holiday dessert table a little extra, or looking to show off at the next potluck, this hot chocolate dip has you covered. Just like the comforting sip of a rich hot cocoa, this dip is as versatile as it is delicious. Trust us — your marshmallows, graham crackers, and fruit are about to meet their perfect match.

The secret to this indulgent dip lies in its simplicity: chocolate chips and heavy cream. That's it. Melt these two together, and you've got a glossy, decadent dip that tastes like the best hot chocolate you've ever had, but in scoopable form. The heavy cream brings richness and a silky texture while the chocolate chips deliver a deep, satisfying cocoa flavor. Want it darker and more sophisticated? Go for semisweet or dark chocolate. Prefer it sweet and nostalgic? Milk chocolate's your best bet. And if you really want to show off, make them both and one extra with white chocolate chips!

To make it, simply heat the cream on the stove until it's warm but not boiling then pour it over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let the heat work its magic for a minute or two before stirring everything into a smooth, luxurious dip. It's like a fondue without the fancy equipment, making it perfect for impromptu gatherings or weeknight cravings. Pair it with dippers like marshmallows, pretzels, strawberries, or cookies and watch it disappear in minutes. Much like hot chocolate powder, this dip proves you don't need fancy ingredients to create something delicious. Want to mix it up? Add a pinch of cinnamon or a sprinkle of crushed peppermint for a festive holiday vibe.
