Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 3 Tbsp molasses
  • ¾ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 1¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Spices: Gradually add the powdered sugar, molasses, ground ginger, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon to the cream cheese, mixing continuously until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the spiced cream cheese mixture using a spatula, combining thoroughly while maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
  4. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  5. Serve: Serve chilled with your choice of dippers such as graham crackers, ginger snap cookies, apple slices, or pretzels for a perfect holiday treat.

Notes

  • For best results, let the cream cheese soften at room temperature before starting.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • Adjust the amount of molasses to control the sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • This dip can be made up to 1 day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dip, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
