Cheesecake Dip with Pie Crust Dippers

Hi all! I'm baaack! And I've got cheesecake! Well, cheesecake dip, that is. It's been a while, hasn't it? I have to say, I've really missed you! I took some time off for the holidays, but I'm refreshed and ready to rock n' roll 🙂

Are you thinking about Valentine's Day already? I sure am. I've been trying to come up with a little something for Mr. Disorganized, but he's so hard to buy for! We used to go overboard with watches, jewelry and other expensive items, but 22+ years later, it hasn't been about the gifts in a very long time.  Last year I made these adorable Embroidered Valentine Hearts and this delicious Sweets for My Sweet{heart} Bread. However, I could use some fresh ideas, so let me know if you think of any!

 Here's what isn't hard- this Cheesecake Dip with Pie Crust Dippers {they're heart-shaped!}. Seriously easy {and quick} to make, plus, it tastes good. And who doesn't love cheesecake? I know my family does, and they had fun dipping the heart-shaped pie crust ‘chips' into the dip & then eating them!
