Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Soften the Cream Cheese: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes until it’s soft enough to whip smoothly without lumps. This ensures a perfect fluffy texture.
  2. Combine Spices and Sweeteners: In a medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended for an even flavor and consistent color.
  3. Whip the Cream Cheese: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the softened cream cheese on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy, forming the creamy base.
  4. Add Spiced Mixture to Cream Cheese: Gradually spoon the spice and sugar mixture into the whipped cream cheese while mixing on low speed to evenly combine flavors without deflating the mixture.
  5. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form—when the cream holds a gentle peak but is not stiff or dry.
  6. Fold the Whipped Cream Into the Cream Cheese Mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and spice mixture using a spatula to preserve the airy, light texture of the dip.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and heavy cream for smooth blending.
  • Add powdered sugar and spices gradually to avoid clumps and ensure even flavor.
  • Use freshly ground spices for the best flavor.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to keep the dip light and airy.
  • Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to meld flavors and firm the texture.
  • This dip can also be used as a soft frosting alternative for cakes and cupcakes.
