Are you looking for an easy Valentine’s Day dessert? This white chocolate raspberry cheesecake dip recipe combines the sweetness of white chocolate with fresh raspberries to create a light and fluffy dessert dip.
Chocolate is as synonymous with Valentine’s Day as hearts and flowers are. I’m not sure about you, but I will always take an excuse to enjoy any dessert that has chocolate in it or on it. 🙂
Speaking of hearts, do any of you decorate at for Valentine’s Day? I do a little bit and my Valentine’s stuff usually goes up once I take the Christmas stuff down. I feel like I need something to add some cheer as everything looks so bare when the Christmas decorations get put away, lol.
Ok, back to the food part of Valentine’s Day. I wanted to create a sweet, cheesecake like dip for this year’s holiday and knew it had to incorporate chocolate. I used white chocolate for its smoothness and the raspberries add great flavor and color.
Oh, and I just heard this morning that Dunkin Donuts has come out with a white chocolate raspberry latte. I sense a Valentine’s day theme here 🙂
Serve the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake dip with vanilla wafers, chocolate graham crackers, or your favorite cookies. You may also be interested in this Tastefully Simple Raspberry Chocolate Cheese Ball Mix
