Main Ingredients
- 10 Christmas Tree Snack Cakes (2 boxes)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Mix-Ins and Toppings
- 8 oz Cool Whip (extra creamy)
- 3 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a large food processor, add 9 Christmas Tree Snack Cakes (reserve 1 for topping), cream cheese, heavy cream, peppermint extract (if using), and vanilla extract (if using). This step mixes the core ingredients to create a smooth, creamy base.
- Pulse to Cream: Pulse the food processor until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, ensuring the snack cakes are broken down and blended with the cream cheese and cream for a uniform dip texture.
- Transfer to Bowl: Transfer the creamed mixture into a small mixing bowl, preparing it for gentle folding with the whipped topping.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in the extra creamy Cool Whip by hand until incorporated, making the dip light and fluffy while maintaining creaminess.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the Christmas sprinkles on top of the dip for a festive appearance and place the remaining whole Christmas Tree Snack Cake on the dip as a decorative centerpiece.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the dip for one hour to firm up and let the flavors meld, ensuring the best texture and taste when served.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth blending.
- Optional extracts add extra holiday flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- Serve with graham crackers, fruit slices, or pretzels for dipping.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve; this dip is best enjoyed within 2 days.
