Base
- 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3 T. molasses
- 2 T. brown sugar
- 1 T. powdered sugar
Spices
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
- small pinch ground cloves
Whipped Topping
- 1 (8 oz.) container Cool Whip non-dairy whipped topping
Garnish (Optional)
- Gingerbread men sprinkles, snowflake sprinkles, or Christmas non-pareil sprinkles, for garnish
- Mix Cream Cheese and Sweeteners: Using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, molasses, brown sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated for a creamy base.
- Add the Spices: Stir in ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and a small pinch of ground cloves into the cream cheese mixture, blending evenly to distribute the warm gingerbread flavors throughout the dip.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the Cool Whip non-dairy whipped topping with a spatula until it is thoroughly mixed into the spiced cream cheese mixture, creating a light and airy texture without deflating the whipped topping.
- Chill the Dip: Refrigerate the prepared dip until ready to serve to allow the flavors to meld and ensure it is nicely chilled for the best taste and consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: Just before serving, optionally sprinkle gingerbread men sprinkles, snowflake sprinkles, or Christmas non-pareil sprinkles on top for a festive touch. Serve the dip with mini Nilla Wafers, waffle cone pieces, animal crackers, or graham crackers for dipping.
