Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (full-fat for best texture)
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp Gingerbread Spice Mix (or make your own)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (or use vanilla bean paste)
  • 8 oz Whipped Topping (stabilized for best results)

Dippers

  • 1 cup Gingersnaps (classic choice)
  • 1 cup Apple Slices (for a refreshing crunch)
  • 1 cup Graham Crackers (alternative crunch)
  • 1 cup Pretzels (for a salty twist)

Instructions

  1. Preparation Steps: Gather all your ingredients and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure smooth mixing.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until velvety and smooth, eliminating lumps for a creamy base.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar while mixing on low speed for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in Spices and Vanilla: Add the gingerbread spice mix and vanilla extract, continuing to mix on low speed for 1-2 minutes until fully combined and aromatic.
  5. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the mixture with a spatula until the dip is smooth and creamy, maintaining its light texture.
  6. Serve: Transfer the dip into a festive serving bowl and serve immediately with your choice of gingersnaps, apple slices, graham crackers, and pretzels for dipping.

Notes

  • Allowing the cream cheese to come to room temperature ensures the dip is smooth and lump-free.
  • Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use stabilized whipped topping to maintain the dip’s texture longer during serving.
  • Feel free to customize the spice mix by adding cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves to taste.
  • The dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir gently before serving.
