Cheesecake fondue is a luscious and creamy dessert dip made by melting white chocolate, butter, and cream cheese together with a touch of sugar and vanilla.

This indulgent dessert is ideal for celebrations or anytime you crave a sweet and creamy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 11 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese (do not use low-fat or fat-free)
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dippers

  • 4 graham crackers (crushed)
  • Cookies, angel food cake, strawberries, or other desired dippers

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In an electric fondue pot or double boiler, heat the white chocolate chips and butter slowly while stirring often. Avoid heating too quickly to prevent the chocolate from separating and losing its smooth texture.
  2. Add Cream Cheese: Gradually incorporate the cream cheese into the melted chocolate and butter, continuing to stir carefully. Allow the mixture to heat slowly and patiently until the cream cheese is fully melted and the fondue is smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix in Sugar and Vanilla: Stir in the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until everything is well combined and the fondue has a consistent, velvety texture.
  4. Serve Fondue: Transfer the fondue to a serving pot and serve warm with an assortment of dippers such as cookies, angel food cake, strawberries, or any other favorites.
  5. Add Graham Cracker Coating: For the full cheesecake experience, after dipping your chosen treats in the fondue, roll or dip them in crushed graham crackers before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best creamy texture; avoid low-fat or fat-free versions as they can affect consistency.
  • Heating the chocolate and butter slowly is key to maintaining a smooth fondue without seizing.
  • Feel free to customize dippers according to preference—fruits, cookies, and cake all work wonderfully.
  • If you don’t have a fondue pot, use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water to melt ingredients gently.
  • Leftover fondue can be refrigerated and gently reheated, but stir well before serving.
