Ingredients
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
- 8 ounces package cream cheese softened
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces tub whipped topping or Cool Whip
- Red and green sprinkles or holiday-themed sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and chop them into small pieces. You want them small enough that they’ll blend smoothly into the dip but still maintain a bit of texture.1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped cakes, milk, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to blend everything together until smooth and creamy. The Christmas Tree Cakes should break down and dissolve into the mixture, giving it that sweet cake flavor.8 ounces package cream cheese, ⅓ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Once the mixture is smooth, gently fold in the whipped topping or Cool Whip. This will give your dip a fluffy, light texture. Make sure it’s well combined, but don’t overmix.8 ounces tub whipped topping or Cool Whip
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or platter. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This helps the dip thicken and allows the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, top the dip with a sprinkle of festive red and green sprinkles (or any holiday-themed sprinkles you like). This adds a nice touch of color and crunch to your dip.Red and green sprinkles
- Serve the dip with your choice of dippers—vanilla wafers, fresh fruit (strawberries, apple slices, or banana slices work great), cookies, or graham crackers.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese: Take it out of the fridge about 30 minutes before making the dip to ensure it blends smoothly.
- Whipped cream: If you prefer homemade whipped cream to cool whip, whip up about 2 cups and gently fold it in.
- Don’t skip the chill time: Letting the dip sit in the refrigerator helps the flavors come together and improves the texture.
- Experiment with sprinkles: Use holiday-themed sprinkles, like snowflakes or stars, to match the festive vibes.
- Add chocolate: Sprinkle in mini chocolate chips or drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for extra decadence.
- Choose sturdy dippers: Graham crackers, shortbread cookies, and pretzels hold up best with this creamy dip.
- Other snack cakes: Swap in other seasonal snack cakes like Zebra Cakes or Valentine’s Cakes for different holidays.
- Make ahead: You can prepare the dip up to a day in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator, and give it a quick stir before serving.
Storage Instructions
- Fridge: Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Give it a quick stir before serving again, as the texture may slightly settle. This dessert dip stays creamy and flavorful, even as leftovers!
