Ingredients for Gingerbread Dip
- Cream Cheese – A plain cream cheese gives the dip a creamy texture and sweet, tangy flavor. Purchase a regular brick of cream cheese or a pre-whipped cream cheese to save time. Bring the cream cheese to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Powdered Sugar – This form of sugar is extremely fine. It dissolves easily and has a smooth texture.
- Light Brown Sugar – Brown sugar is less sweet than regular sugar. It has a deep caramel flavor and color.
- Molasses – When you think of gingerbread flavor, you think of molasses. It is a thick brown syrup that comes from sugar cane. It has a smoky, burnt caramel flavor.
- Nutmeg – This spice adds a rich depth of flavor to the dip. It complements the molasses and other spices.
- Cinnamon – This warm spice has a distinct smell and flavor that is synonymous with baked goods in the fall and winter.
- Ginger – This spice has a hot, zingy flavor. It’s what makes gingerbread taste almost spicy hot.
- Cloves – Add another depth of flavor with rich, aromatic ground cloves.
- Whipped Topping – Add fluffiness to the dip with a container of Cool Whip, or other whipped topping. This is what makes it so light and easy for dipping! If you prefer, make your own whipped cream!
