Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 3 Little Debbie Christmas snack cakes single serve
- 8 oz Cool Whip whipped topping
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp red and green sprinkles
- ¼ cup red icing piped into squiggly lines
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, whip the cream cheese until smooth. This step can also be done in a mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer.
- Fold in whipped topping, add vanilla, and mix until blended.
- Break the cakes into pieces and fold into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon dip into a serving bowl and top with sprinkles and lines of red icing.
- Serve with sliced apples, cookies, or pretzels.
Notes
- Use heavy whipping cream. For an even richer dip, consider folding in some whipped heavy cream for added volume and creaminess.
- Let the dip chill in the fridge for about an hour before serving. This helps it firm up nicely, lets the flavors blend, and makes it easier to scoop.
- Serve with a mix of your favorite dippers like graham crackers, vanilla wafers, gingerbread cookies, and animal crackers. Fresh fruit, like sliced strawberries or apple wedges, not only enhances the flavor, but is also a delicious way to balance the sweetness.
- Let the kids help with the decorating and choosing dippers. It’s a fun way to make holiday memories together!
- Place any leftovers in an airtight container or wrap it with plastic wrap before popping it in the refrigerator. This helps maintain the dip's creamy texture for future snacking.
