Ingredients

Scale

Base Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (115g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream

  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream

Decoration

  • Festive sprinkles (amount to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Whip the Heavy Cream. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a mixer until stiff peaks form, which will help give the dip a light and airy texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, mixing carefully so the fluffy texture remains intact. Stir in the festive sprinkles for a bright, colorful touch throughout the dip.
  4. Chill the Dip. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and for the dip to firm up properly.
  5. Serve. Serve the chilled dip with sugar cookies or your favorite cookie dippers for a fun and festive treat.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality ingredients to get the very best flavor.
  • Adding about ⅓ to ½ teaspoon of almond extract enhances the festive flavor beautifully.
  • Bring your cream cheese to room temperature before mixing for easier blending.
  • Leftover dip makes a delicious cream cheese caramel apple dip.
  • Customize the sprinkles to match your holiday theme or use festive colored sugar or edible glitter for extra sparkle.
  • Try drizzling caramel sauce or gingerbread sauce over the dip before serving for even more seasonal flavor.
