A creamy, no-bake dip that captures all the warm, spiced flavor of gingerbread. Perfect for holiday gatherings, it comes together in just 5 minutes and is served with an array of dippers like apple slices, pretzels, and cookies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz block full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 8 oz tub Cool Whip or whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and brown sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat again on medium speed for 1 minute until fully combined and uniformly brown.
  3. Add the thawed whipped topping. Using a spatula, gently fold it into the spiced cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain. Do not over-mix.
  4. Serve immediately, or for a firmer texture, cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened. Use unsulphured molasses, not blackstrap, for the right flavor. Folding in the whipped topping by hand keeps the dip light and fluffy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
