This cold cottage cheese s’mores dip is creamy, sweet, and slightly tangy—almost like a cross between cheesecake dip and classic s’mores. The cottage cheese adds a little protein and a subtle salty flavor that balances the marshmallow and chocolate perfectly. It’s kid-friendly, crowd-pleasing, and great for summer parties, holidays, or any casual get-together.
Combine whipped cottage cheese, cool whip, marshmallow fluff, maple syrup, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (optional) to a large mixing bowl.
Using a hand mixer or immersion blender, beat on low or medium until all the ingredients are well-combined with minimal or no lumps.
Add about 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips and stir. Taste test and add maple syrup if preferred.
Pour the mixture into a large bowl or 9.5 inch circular glass dish.
Top the dip with additional mini chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers and mini marshmallows when ready to serve (max 3 hours before serving to prevent sogginess). The dip is best served really cold so chill for 30-60 minutes for best taste and texture.
Serve with sheets of graham crackers and strawberries. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days!
Notes
Taste test and adjust with more marshmallow, maple syrup or cool whip.
Optional chocolate version: Blend in 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. Add extra sweetener or a splash of milk to taste, if needed.
To prep ahead: Complete steps 1-4 and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Mix in the chocolate chips and add the toppings and it's ready to serve!
