# What You'll Need:

→ Dip Base

01 - 200 g marshmallow fluff or marshmallow creme
02 - 225 g cream cheese, softened
03 - 150 ml cold heavy whipping cream
04 - 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract

→ Mix-Ins & Toppings

05 - 80 g chopped chocolate (milk, dark, or chocolate-hazelnut bar such as Ferrero Rocher)

07 - 40 g crushed graham crackers for garnish (add before serving)

→ Suggested Dippers

08 - Whole graham crackers
09 - Fresh strawberries
10 - Apple slices

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine cold heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment, whip until stiff peaks form. Set whipped cream aside.
02 - In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat softened cream cheese and marshmallow fluff until smooth and creamy. Add 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract and blend until incorporated.
03 - Using a spatula, carefully fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow cream cheese mixture until just combined, maintaining the airy texture.
04 - Gently stir in chopped chocolate and hazelnuts, mixing evenly throughout the dip.
05 - Transfer mixture to a serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve, or for at least 30 minutes to set.
06 - Just before serving, sprinkle crushed graham crackers and extra chopped chocolate or nuts on top if desired. Serve with graham crackers, strawberries, and apple slices for dipping.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For optimal texture, add crushed graham crackers as a topping only immediately before serving to prevent sogginess.
02 - Cover and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
