Made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen, this easy peanut butter dip is smooth, rich, and full of flavor. It’s great for dipping apple slices, strawberries, or even graham crackers, and kids love it, too! Serve it as a fun dessert, a healthy snack, or part of a sweet platter for gatherings. Once you try it, this creamy peanut butter dip is sure to become a favorite go-to recipe.
We suggest using light cream, but any kind would work. Feel free to use whatever you have at hand. Even milk! Having said that, do not use sour cream or crème fraîche, since they are more noticeably savory and will completely change the flavor of the sweet peanut butter dip.
You can try adding more peanut butter if you wish. Our ratios make a peanuty, delicious flavor that balances pretty well with the sugar and cream cheese. However, is it perfectly fine if you want to add more! Simply taste your dip when it’s ready and blend in as much peanut butter as needed.
There are plenty of types of peanut butter: crunchy or smooth, sweetened or not, and with lower or higher content of peanuts. We used a smooth, unsweetened peanut butter that’s nearly 100% peanuts, and we suggest you use something similar. If you use sweetened peanut butter, use a bit less brown sugar to prevent getting a dip that is too sweet. You can always add more sugar in the end if you want.
This dip works incredibly well with slices of fresh, crunchy apples. The contrast between the creaminess of the dip and the crunchiness of the apple is super pleasing. Plus, this combination has the perfect balance of sweetness and sourness. Other good options to serve the dip with are plain cookies, crackers, and carrot sticks.
