Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • small pinch ground cloves
  • 1 (8 oz.) container Cool Whip non-dairy whipped topping

Garnish (Optional)

  • Gingerbread men sprinkles, snowflake sprinkles, or Christmas non-pareil sprinkles
  • Mini Nilla Wafers, waffle cone pieces, animal crackers, or graham crackers (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Mix the base: With an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, molasses, brown sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is well combined and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add spices: Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and a small pinch of ground cloves to infuse the dip with warm gingerbread flavors.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the Cool Whip non-dairy whipped topping until it is thoroughly mixed with the spiced cream cheese mixture, maintaining a light and airy texture.
  4. Chill the dip: Refrigerate the dip until ready to serve. This chilling step helps meld the flavors and firm up the texture for easy dipping.
  5. Garnish and serve: At serving time, sprinkle the top of the dip with festive sprinkles such as gingerbread men, snowflakes, or Christmas non-pareils, if desired. Serve alongside mini Nilla Wafers, waffle cone pieces, animal crackers, or graham crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • Allow cream cheese to soften to room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying molasses and sugars according to taste preference.
  • For a dairy-free/vegan option, use dairy-free cream cheese in place of regular cream cheese.
  • Keep refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
  • The dip pairs wonderfully with ginger snap cookies for an extra spice hit.
