Ingredients:
5 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (vanilla or chocolate, your choice)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
½ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk (add more if needed for consistency)
Festive sprinkles for garnish (optional)
Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or pretzels for dipping
Instructions:
Prepare the Christmas Tree Cakes: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and break them into smaller pieces. This will help them blend smoothly into the dip later.
Make the Dip: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat them together until smooth and creamy. Add the broken Christmas Tree Cake pieces and vanilla extract. Mix until the cakes are well combined with the cream cheese.Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. If the dip is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Chill the Dip: Cover the dip and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up a little.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle some festive holiday sprinkles on top for that extra Christmas touch! Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or pretzels for dipping.
Optional Add-Ons:
Peppermint Twist: For a minty, holiday flavor, try adding a few drops of peppermint extract to the dip.
Chocolate Lovers: Use chocolate-flavored Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes for a rich, chocolatey version of this dip.
This Christmas Tree Cake Dip is the perfect festive dessert to serve at any holiday gathering. Its creamy, sweet texture mixed with the soft chunks of cake makes it an instant favorite among kids and adults alike! Plus, it’s so simple to make, which means you’ll have more time to enjoy the holiday fun.
Cooking Tips:
Consistency is Key: If the dip is too thick for your liking, don’t hesitate to add more milk a little at a time. You want a smooth, dippable consistency.
Dip Pairings: While graham crackers are classic, try using pretzels for a sweet and salty combo, or vanilla wafers for an extra touch of sweetness.
