Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
  • 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)

Instructions

  1. Cream the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Sugars, Spices, and Molasses: Incorporate the powdered sugar, brown sugar, molasses, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves into the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and evenly blended.
  3. Fold in Cool Whip: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture. Take care to blend it well without deflating the whipped topping, achieving a light and airy dip.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld and the dip to chill adequately.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • This dip pairs excellently with ginger snaps, graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels.
  • Can be made ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the spices to taste if you prefer a stronger ginger or cinnamon flavor.
