Ingredients

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
  • Gingerbread men sprinkles, snowflake sprinkles, or Christmas non-pareil sprinkles, for garnish (optional)

Serving Suggestions

  • Mini Nilla Wafers
  • Waffle cone pieces
  • Animal crackers
  • Graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Combine Cream Cheese and Sugars: Use an electric mixer to beat together the room temperature cream cheese, molasses, brown sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Spices: Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and a small pinch of ground cloves to evenly distribute the warm, gingerbread flavors into the mixture.
  3. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in the entire container of Cool Whip until the dip is thoroughly mixed and fluffy without deflating the whipped topping.
  4. Chill the Dip: Refrigerate the gingerbread dip until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the dip to firm slightly for optimal texture.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle your choice of festive gingerbread men sprinkles, snowflake sprinkles, or Christmas non-pareil sprinkles over the top for decoration. Serve with mini Nilla Wafers, waffle cone pieces, animal crackers, or graham crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
  • You can customize the dip by adjusting the spices to taste, adding more or less according to preference.
  • This dip can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator, covered tightly to maintain freshness.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free option, use a dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping.
  • Keep the dip chilled until serving to maintain its creamy texture and prevent it from becoming too soft.
