    All you need is 5 main ingredients plus spices!

    Gingerbread Dip Ingredients

    Here's everything you need:

    • Heavy cream whips into whipped cream that is used to lighten the mousse. Make sure the heavy cream is cold so it whips properly– warm or room-temperature cream won’t work in this recipe!
    • Cream cheese is the base of this mousse-like dip. It adds richness and a delicious tanginess.
    • Powdered sugar sweetens the dip. Feel free to add more or less to taste.
    • Molasses give this dip and earthy, sweetness that we all love and expect when it comes to gingerbread!
    • Vanilla enhances the sweetness and flavor of the spices and overall dip.
    • Ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg are classic gingerbread spices — they add warmth and great flavor.

    ★ How to make this Recipe ★

    This dip is super easy to make. No cooking required!

    Here are the simple steps involved:

    How to Make Gingerbread Dip
    • Whip the heavy cream.
    • Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, molasses and spices.
    • Add whipped cream to cream cheese mixture.

    ★ Tips & FAQs ★

    Where can I find little gingerbread men cookies for dipping?

    During the holidays, some grocery stores carry gingerbread men cookies or you can make your own.

    If you want a shortcut to homemade, look for gingerbread cookie mix. The cookies actually taste good and are easy to make. You can decorate them with cookie icing.

    If you prefer a from-scratch recipe, check out my friend's gingerbread cookie recipe here.

    What does this dip taste like?

    This dip is a rich and flavorful holiday-themed dessert dip made with cream cheese, gingerbread spices, and sweet ingredients like molasses and sugar.

    The texture is light, fluffy, and perfect for dipping graham crackers, cookies, or fruit for a festive and delicious treat.

    What can I serve with this dip?

    You can serve dip with whatever sound good to you but here are some ideas: graham crackers, gingerbread cookies, apple slices, pear slices, pretzels, or even marshmallows.

    The choice of dippers is flexible, and you can get creative with what you think pairs well with the gingerbread flavor.

    Can this dip be made in advance for a party?

    Yes, you can make this gingerbread dip in advance!

    It's a great make-ahead dessert. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

    However, it's best to add any toppings like crushed gingersnaps or whipped cream just before serving to maintain freshness and crunch.

    Customize the sweetness level of this dip.

    You can adjust the sweetness of the dip to your preference. If you want it sweeter, simply add more confectioners' sugar.

    Conversely, if you prefer it less sweet, reduce the sugar quantity. Taste as you go to find the right balance for your palate.

    Course: Appetizers, Dessert, Snacks
    Cuisine: American
    Skill Level: Easy
    Recipe Type: Christmas, Dips
    Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Total Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Servings: 8 Servings
    Yield: 4 cups

    Ingredients 

    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (canned)
    • 8 oz cream cheese softened
    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 2 tablespoon molasses
    • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

    Instructions

    • In a medium bowl, whisk or beat (using a mixer) the cold heavy cream on medium speed until it forms stiff peaks, about 2 minutes.
    • In a separate bowl add remaining ingredients and beat with a mixer on low speed until combined.
    • Beat in cream cheese until mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
    • Gradually fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

    Serving as a Dip

    • Spoon the mousse into a large serving dish. Serve immediately or cover and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
      Serve garnished with a fresh whipped cream and a gingerbread cookie.

    Serving as Mousse

    • Pipe mousse using just a pastry bag with no tip* into serving glasses.
      Serve immediately or cover and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
      Serve garnished with a fresh whipped cream and a gingerbread cookie.

    Notes

    Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream as you fold it into the cream cheese mixture – we want the dip to be mousse-like, light and fluffy.
    If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a plastic sandwich bag with the corner cut off.
    For best results, chill no longer than 8 hours prior to serving.
