What you will need:

Adjust the red food coloring to make it super rich in color or not so rich. I add in more in the end to really bring the color out as well. I know there are natural food colorings out there so feel free to opt for those. Fun fact: red velvet cakes were originally given their color from beetroot so have at it if that's your pleasure!

Cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder and other ingredients labeled on counter.

How to make this recipe:

Whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks start to form. For best results use very cold heavy cream. This will create a nice creamy, thick whipped cream. (step 1)
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, sugar and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. (steps 2-3)

Whipped cream in bowl and cream cheese and sugar whipped together.

Add in the cocoa powder, food coloring and vanilla and beat to mix in. Careful, the cocoa powder may spray up at you. Stir it in a bit with a spoon first if desired. I never have luck. (step 4)
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined. Add in extra food coloring for a stronger red color. (step 5-6)

Notes and Tips:

No food coloring? Don't like using food dye? Just skip it! You will have a delicious chocolate cheesecake dip instead of red velvet! It will still be delicious.
Set this dip out for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This will soften it slightly and make it perfect for dipping.

Fun ways to serve this recipe:

The obvious ways to enjoy work for sure. Use your fave dippers: graham crackers (chocolate grahams too!), marshmallows, butter cookies, pretzels, a piece of chocolate, strawberries, etc.
