Ingredients
Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 5 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (vanilla or chocolate)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- Holiday sprinkles (for garnish)
- Crushed cookies or cake crumbs (optional topping)
For Serving
- Vanilla wafers
- Graham crackers
- Pretzels
- Fruit
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Pieces: In a large mixing bowl, crumble the Christmas Tree Cakes into small pieces carefully to ensure they blend smoothly later.
- Mix the Dip Ingredients: Add the softened cream cheese, whipped topping, milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the crumbled cakes. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, ensuring even texture throughout.
- Chill the Dip: Transfer the blended dip to a serving bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step helps the dip firm up slightly for better consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle holiday sprinkles and crushed cookies or cake crumbs over the top for festive decoration. Serve the dip with vanilla wafers, graham crackers, pretzels, or fruit for dipping.
Notes
- For a fluffier dip, gently fold in extra whipped topping after blending for added volume and lightness.
- Using chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes will create a richer, more decadent dip variation.
- Store any leftover dip in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
