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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
