Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract. Mix on low and gradually increase speed to high until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a separate bowl.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using a hand mixer (you can use the same bowl, no need to wash) add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, and lemon juice. Mix on low until combined, then speed mixer up to high and mix for 30 seconds until smooth.

Step 3

Add the whipped cream and fold into the cream cheese mixture to combine completely.

Step 4

Transfer to a bowl and serve with graham crackers, pretzels, strawberries, chocolate bars, or animal crackers.

Baker's Tips

You can easily make this dessert dip ahead of time for a party! It just needs to be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. You can make this up to 2 or 3 days in advance.
You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this recipe. If you do use a hand mixer, just be sure to whip the cream cheese really well so it’s very smooth, this will take longer with a hand mixer than if you use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. If you don’t mix the cream cheese until very smooth, your dip will be chunky, which is not ideal.
I love serving this with a bunch of different things. You can serve this with anything you like! Other options that would be delicious would also be cookies, biscotti, brownies, raspberries, blackberries, or even apples!
