Make the chocolate dip
- - In a medium metal bowl using an electric hand mixer, mix heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form; transfer to fridge.
- - Add chocolate chips to a small skillet over low heat, stirring until fully melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- - In a separate bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat together cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in powdered sugar, greek yogurt and vanilla, mixing on low speed. Add in cocoa powder and continue mixing on low speed while gradually increasing to medium speed until combined. Add melted chocolate mixing on medium speed until fully incorporated. Remove the whipped cream from the fridge and fold into the chocolate mixture, then mix on medium speed until fully combined.
