Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsulphured molasses
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 8 oz tub Cool Whip or whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute, until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar, molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Beat on medium-low to combine, then increase to medium-high and beat for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and uniform in color. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Add the thawed Cool Whip to the bowl. Using a large spatula, gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix and deflate the dip.
  4. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. Stir briefly, transfer to a serving bowl, and enjoy with your favorite dippers.

Notes

For a lump-free dip, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened. You can prepare this dip up to 24 hours in advance. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For a from-scratch version, substitute the Cool Whip with 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream whipped with 1 tbsp of the powdered sugar.
