We’re all looking for ways to make the holiday season feel extra special. This gingerbread cheesecake dip is a festive and delicious way to treat the ones you love to a special holiday dessert without having to go too crazy in the kitchen.
Shelby's dip is a sweet and festive celebration of the most classic holiday cookie. Truly, everything tastes so much better when it’s dipped in cream cheese and sugar. It’s super easy to mix, just takes a strong stirrer to mix the cream cheese (especially if you’re like us and can’t wait for it to soften). If you have a little helper in the kitchen, set them up with a strong spoon and a big bowl, and have them work their forearms while you toss in ingredients.
Because this holiday dip is so easy to make, you can get creative with your presentation! Make an entire gingerbread house for your platter and have the dip be the swimming pool or design your graham crackers to look like a snowflake.
If you're looking to go the extra mile, make your own gingerbread to scoop up your dip. When you’ve made your gingerbread masterpiece, show it off in our Safe at Home Facebook Group! We can’t wait to see what you create.
