Possible Ingredient Alternatives

Cream cheese can be replaced with Greek yogurt or silken tofu for a lighter, protein-rich alternative. Use a 1:1 ratio, but strain Greek yogurt to remove excess liquid. For a dairy-free option, cashew cream works well. Blend soaked cashews with water until smooth.

Sugar cookie mix can be substituted with a homemade blend of flour, sugar, and vanilla powder. This allows for better control over ingredients and sweetness. Use 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla powder as a starting point, adjusting to taste.

Milk can be replaced with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version. Almond, oat, or coconut milk work well, maintaining a creamy consistency. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe, adjusting slightly if needed for desired thickness. For a richer flavor, full-fat coconut milk is an excellent choice.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup dry sugar cookie mix
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk (2% preferred, or use heavy cream or half-and-half)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (optional, or use vanilla extract)
  • Festive sprinkles (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar cookie mix, milk, and vanilla.

Beat the mixture with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and no lumps remain.

If the dip is too thick for your liking, gradually add more milk to reach your desired consistency.

Step 2: Add Sprinkles and Transfer to Serving Bowl

If you want to add a festive touch, gently stir in some sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dip.

Once mixed, spoon the dip into a serving bowl, ensuring it looks appealing for presentation.

Step 3: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the dip until you’re ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.

Before serving, top with additional sprinkles for a decorative finish.

Pair the dip with graham crackers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for a delightful treat that guests are sure to enjoy.
