Ingredients:

The Cheesecake Dip:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (adjust to taste)
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional, for extra warmth)

The Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Garnish (optional):

  • Powdered sugar
  • A drizzle of caramel or cream cheese icing
  • Crushed cinnamon cookies or graham crackers

Serving:

  • Graham crackers
  • Vanilla wafers
  • Pretzels
  • Apple slices or strawberries

Preparation:

1: Make the Cheesecake Dip

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the whipped topping, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Mix until well combined and fluffy.

2: Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl

  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Set aside.

3: Assemble the Dip

  • Transfer the cheesecake dip mixture into a serving bowl. Drizzle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the top and use a knife or toothpick to create a swirl pattern for that signature cinnamon roll look.

4: Garnish and Chill

  • Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of caramel or cream cheese icing, or crushed cookies for added texture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5: Serve with Dippers

Variations:

  • Vegan Option: Use dairy-free cream cheese, whipped topping, and butter to create a plant-based version of this dip.
  • Spicy Cinnamon Dip: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or ginger for a warming, spicy kick.

Cooking Notes:

  • Chill time enhances flavor: Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to blend and makes the texture firmer.
  • Adjust sweetness: For a less sweet dip, reduce the powdered sugar by 1/4 cup and increase the cinnamon for a stronger spice flavor.
  • Customize the swirl: Use your creativity to make fun swirl patterns on top of the dip for a decorative touch.
