A creamy, nostalgic dessert dip made with cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and chopped Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. Ready in 10 minutes with no baking required, it’s the perfect festive treat for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (57 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (about 8 oz total), chopped
  • Optional: green food coloring (gel or liquid)
  • Optional: holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese and butter by letting them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fully combined, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides halfway through.
  3. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Increase speed to medium and beat for another minute until light, fluffy, and smooth.
  4. If using, add 2-3 drops of green gel food coloring and mix on low until evenly distributed.
  5. Place the Christmas Tree Cakes on a cutting board and chop into small pieces (about 1/2-inch chunks) using a sharp knife.
  6. Add the chopped cakes to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold them in with a spatula until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top. If using, add holiday sprinkles.
  8. Garnish with crumbled Christmas Tree Cake and additional sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or fresh fruit.

Notes

Room temperature ingredients are crucial for a smooth dip. Full-fat cream cheese is recommended for best texture. The dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated; let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving. For a less sweet version, reduce powdered sugar to 3/4 cup. Not recommended for freezing.
