Gingerbread Christmas Dip Recipe
This creamy gingerbread dip combines warm spices, molasses, and whipped topping for an easy holiday treat you can serve with cookies, fruit, or pretzels. It comes together quickly and has a smooth, fluffy texture that makes it great for sharing.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsulphured molasses (not blackstrap)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
- 1 8-ounce tub whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip)
Instructions
- Add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves to a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
- Fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Serve right away or refrigerate for a thicker texture.
Notes
- Use brick-style cream cheese for the best texture; tub-style cream cheese can make the dip too soft.
- Make sure the whipped topping is fully thawed so it folds in smoothly.
- The dip will thicken as it chills, so keep that in mind when you plan to serve it.
Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 - days. Stir before serving if it has been chilled for a while, as the texture may settle slightly.
- This dip does not freeze well.
