Ingredients
Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 1/2 cup non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
- 5 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup flour (heat-treated)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles (divided use)
Dippers
- Graham crackers
- Fruit (such as strawberries, apple slices, or banana)
- Other dippable snacks as desired
Instructions
- Heat treat the flour: Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it on high for 40 seconds until it reaches 160°F. Use a thermometer to confirm the temperature, then stir the flour thoroughly to break up any clumps. This step ensures the flour is safe to consume without baking.
- Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Using a mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, which takes about 2 minutes.
- Add flour and vanilla extract: Add the heat-treated flour and vanilla extract to the mixture, then beat on medium speed for about 1 minute until fully incorporated.
- Incorporate yogurt: Add the non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt in two increments of 1/4 cup each, mixing on low speed just until combined. This helps create a creamy, smooth texture for the dip.
- Fold in sprinkles and decorate: Gently stir in half of the holiday sprinkles (about 1/4 cup), reserving the other half for garnish. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, and sprinkle the remaining sprinkles over the top for a festive touch.
- Serve: Serve the Christmas Cookie Dough Dip immediately with graham crackers, fruit, or your choice of dippers for a fun and delicious holiday treat.
Notes
- This dip is eggless, making it safe to enjoy without worry of raw eggs.
- Heating the flour to 160°F eliminates any harmful bacteria and makes the flour safe for this no-bake recipe.
- Use a good-quality non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt to add flavor and creaminess while keeping it light.
- Graham crackers and fresh fruit are classic dippers, but pretzels or cookie sticks also work well.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the cream cheese and butter with vegan alternatives and use a dairy-free yogurt.
- The dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; stir before serving if separated.
