Ingredients
Eggnog Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup eggnog
- ½ teaspoon rum extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed (1 tub)
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese for about 4 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Add flavorings: Pour in the eggnog, rum extract, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Beat the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar in thirds, beating well after each addition to maintain a smooth consistency.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the eggnog mixture until the dip is creamy and well blended.
- Chill the dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld and the texture firm up.
- Serve: Pair the eggnog dip with your favorite dippers like gingerbread cookies, graham crackers, or fresh fruit for a delightful treat.

- For an adult version, you can substitute rum extract with a tablespoon of real rum, if desired.
- Keep the dip chilled until serving to maintain its creamy texture.
- This dip pairs well with a variety of sweet dippers like pretzels, apple slices, or shortbread cookies.
