Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Begin by opening the box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and carefully removing the cakes. Place them in a mixing bowl and use your hands to crumble them into small pieces to create the base texture for the dip.
- Mix the Cream Cheese: In a separate bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat it until creamy and smooth, which should take about 1-2 minutes to ensure the dip will be nice and fluffy.
- Combine Ingredients: Once the cream cheese is smooth, gently fold in the whipped topping, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined and the mixture takes on a fluffy consistency.
- Add Crumbled Cakes and Extras: Fold in the crumbled Little Debbie cakes, mini marshmallows, and holiday sprinkles, mixing just until evenly distributed throughout the dip to keep a variety of textures.
- Chill the Dip: Transfer the dip into a serving dish and cover it with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and for the dip to firm up slightly, making it easier to serve.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Chilling the dip for longer than 30 minutes will enhance the flavors even more.
- This dip is perfect served with graham crackers, fruit slices, or additional holiday-themed cookies.
- Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Mini marshmallows can be substituted with chopped nuts for added crunch, if desired.
