Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions

  1. Soften the Cream Cheese: Start with cream cheese softened to room temperature, which ensures a smooth, lump-free dip when whipped together.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, molasses, powdered sugar, and gingerbread spices. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed to combine until smooth and evenly spiced.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the spiced cream cheese mixture. This is what gives the dip that irresistible fluffy texture, so be careful to mix just until incorporated.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly for perfect dippability.

Notes

  • Make sure your cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth dip.
  • When adding the whipped topping, fold gently to keep the light texture intact.
  • Start with the recommended spice amounts, but feel free to adjust to your taste.
  • Fresh ground spices provide a more vibrant flavor than older pre-ground spices.
  • Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for best taste and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir gently before serving.
  • Freezing is not recommended as the whipped topping texture will be compromised.
  • Reheat is not suggested; serve cold or slightly softened at room temperature.
