I love a good dip, but I am a sucker for dessert dip and this peppermint dessert dip hits me in all the Christmas feels.
Christmas Dessert Dip Ingredients
I love how easy this recipe is to throw together. It’s your typical dessert dip ingredients, plus some extracts and candy canes.
- Cream cheese
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Cool Whip (the light variety works great as it’s what I used)
- Peppermint and vanilla extracts
- Candy canes (I used four large ones and crushed them and it was perfect)
- Graham crackers
Dessert dips with Cool Whip are popular but if you don’t like it you could try whipped cream, but just keep in mind I didn’t test the recipe with it. You could also try So Delicious’s Coco Whip (a staple in our home).
What to Dip
The possibilities are endless in what you can dip in this peppermint Christmas dip recipe. Here are some ideas:
- sugar cookies
- graham crackers
- apples
- strawberries
- grapes
- pineapples
- melons
- nila wafers
- lady fingers
- oreos

Go the extra mile with the fruit and dip them in white chocolate and then dip them in the dessert dip – wholly yum!
How to Crush Candy Canes
To minimize a mess, I tossed the candy canes in a Ziploc bag and smashed them against my countertop. You could also hit them with a mallet or even the back of a frying pan.
