Dip Ingredients
- 5 Christmas Tree snack cakes (plus one extra for the top, optional)
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 16 oz. cool whip
- ¼ cup milk
- Red and green sugar sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese for 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a silky base.
- Add Flavor and Milk: Stir in the vanilla extract and milk to the cream cheese to add flavor and to adjust the dip’s consistency, making it smooth and easy to mix.
- Incorporate Snack Cakes and Cool Whip: Gently fold in the chopped Christmas Tree snack cakes along with the cool whip, mixing well to combine all ingredients into a uniform, fluffy dip with bits of cake throughout.
- Serve and Garnish: Spoon the dip into your serving bowl. Sprinkle the top liberally with red and green sugar sprinkles for a festive look, and optionally top with an extra whole Christmas Tree snack cake for decoration.
Notes
- This dip pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit or cookies for a holiday party treat.
- For a thicker dip, reduce the milk slightly; add more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- You can prepare this dip a few hours in advance and refrigerate it to allow the flavors to meld.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to ease mixing and achieve a creamy texture.
- Use festive sprinkles to enhance the holiday presentation.
