How to Make Little Debbie Christmas Tree Dip
- In a large bowl, beat together the cakes, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
- Fold in half of the whipped topping until blended. Then, stir in the remaining whipped topping.
- (Optional) Place a piece of waxed paper on a flat surface. Place the red candy melts into a piping bag with the corner snipped. Drizzle a zig-zag or wavy line onto the waxed paper and allow it to dry completely. Carefully remove the waxed paper and place the candy lines onto the dip.
- Top the dip with colored sugar.
- Serve with assorted cookies, fruit dippers, or pretzels.
Tips & Tricks
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This helps it blend smoothly with the other ingredients, creating a creamy, lump-free dip.
- Fold, Don’t Whisk: When adding the whipped topping, gently fold it in rather than whisking. This keeps the dip light and fluffy without breaking down the whipped topping.
- Get Creative with Dippers: Serve this dip with a variety of fun dippers! Shortbread cookies, graham crackers, pretzels, vanilla wafers, or even apple slices work great. It’s fun to mix sweet and salty options for different flavors and textures.
- Optional Festive Toppings: For a little extra holiday flair, try topping the dip with Christmas-themed sprinkles or mini marshmallows. You can also add a few small pieces of Christmas Tree Cakes on top for a fun decorative touch.
- Chill Before Serving: If you have time, let the dip chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and gives the dip an even thicker, creamier texture.
