This nutella neufchâtel dip is rich velvety dip loaded with chocolate-hazelnut flavor that’s perfect for fruits, crackers, or a sweet grazing board. Make it in minutes with this recipe!
Why this nutella neufchâtel dip?
The flavor of Nutella pairs beautifully with the creamy, slightly tangy Nuefchatel cheese creating a velvety dip. It has the perfect balance of indulgence and lightness.
Neufchâtel cheese offers a creamy, slightly tangy base that lightens up the overall richness. Unlike traditional cream cheese, Neufchâtel has lower fat content, making this dip feel a bit more balanced without compromising on texture or flavor.
Orange zest boosts the flavor pairing well with chocolatey nut spread and chocolate chips.
The candied hazelnuts add lovely texture and flavor. You can make it in minutes if you mke candied walnuts for your salads.
It’s a crowd-pleaser with minimal effort and maximum delight! It is unbelievably easy to make. Just a quick mix of two ingredients, and it’s ready to serve. Whether you're hosting a last-minute gathering, assembling a dessert board, or simply satisfying a sweet craving, this dip is a go-to.
Ingredients
You'll need the following ingredients:
Neufchatel cheese - light and creamy cheese forms the base of the dip

Candied hazelnuts - adds extra texture and flavor
Powdered sugar - sweetens the dip

It pairs beautifully with fresh fruits like strawberries and bananas, salty snacks like pretzels, or even as a spread on toast or waffles.

When our girls were young, I often served sliced apples with a yogurt dip as an afterschool snack. They'd have ADORED your chocolate dip!

Mayuri Patel says
We enjoy Neufchatel cheese sometimes with bagels. Would have never thought of pairing the slightly tangy, salty and sharp cheese with Nutella. Next time I get some of that cheese will have to try out the dip.
magicalingrdnts says
I highly recommend it. Thanks Mayuri!
