Fluffy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Apple Dip (Lower Fat, Bigger Taste)

Wednesday, April 24, 2013 19:48

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I’m so happy to announce that I’m finished with my graduate classes until August. I have just a few more days of papers and projects, and then I’ll be free to resume crafting, concocting and sharing ideas for making everyday life a little sweeter. Thanks for bearing with me.

Like a true mom, I can’t just leave you hungry while you wait patiently for “dinner”. So, I made a little something to hold you over: {Reduced Fat}Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Apple Dip!

You’ve probably seen a lot of wonderful recipes for apple dip online. The concept is nothing new. What’s different about this recipe is that I’ve taken some steps, in the creation of my original recipe, to reduce the fat. I’m still not going to recommend that you eat it every day (even though you’ll probably want to), but if you get the occasional sweet tooth and would like to squeeze in some nutrition — protein, calcium, fresh fruit — without sacrificing taste, you should give this easy dip a try.

Fluffy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Apple Dip

1 stick butter, softened
4 oz. light cream cheese, softened
3/4 cups reduced fat, creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or more, to taste)
Sliced tart apples

In
the bowl of a mixer, whip (with whisk attachment) cream cheese, butter, peanut butter, and salt
until combined. On low speed, add confectioners’ sugar, one 1/2 cup at a
time.
Once sugar has been incorporated, bring speed up to high and whip until light and fluffy. Note: The ingredients may appear to separate at first if your room is warm, or your butter was too soft. Don’t fret. Continue to whip air into the frosting to emulsify the fats and achieve a smooth, fluffy texture (up to five minutes).
Stir in the mini chocolate chips and serve. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container. Allow to come back to room temperature and whip with a fork before serving.
