Ingredients
Scale
- 5 vanilla Christmas tree-shaped snack cakes (ensure they use halal-friendly ingredients)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Red and green festive sprinkles
- Assorted dippers: Vanilla wafers, pretzels, graham crackers, or apple slices
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 2 minutes.
- Unwrap the snack cakes. Using your hands or a fork, crumble them into small pieces. Add the crumbled cakes into the bowl with the cream cheese.
- Turn your mixer to low speed and mix the cake pieces into the cream cheese for about 30 seconds. You want the cake to be well-distributed but still leave some visible chunks.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the thawed whipped topping. Move the spatula in a circular motion from the bottom to the top to keep the dip light and fluffy.
- Stir in the milk one tablespoon at a time until the dip reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick enough to stay on a cracker but soft enough to scoop easily.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Garnish generously with red and green sprinkles to give it a festive pop of color.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until you are ready to enjoy.
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
