Step-by-Step
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15- to 20-second intervals, stirring after every interval. Stop as soon as the chocolate is smooth, then let it cool for several minutes until warm but not hot.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed so no cold cream cheese remains in lumps.
- Mix the cooled white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Add the thawed whipped topping and gently fold until the dip is light and evenly blended.
- Transfer the finished dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to firm the texture. For a firmer cheesecake-like consistency, chill it for 1 to 2 hours.
Notes
Use softened full-fat cream cheese for the smoothest dip. The melted white chocolate should be warm rather than hot before it is mixed with the cream cheese, because excessive heat can loosen the mixture or deflate the whipped topping.
