There is a dessert dip recipe that is going viral right now using Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes, pudding, and frozen whipped topping (my number one food crime). My son tried the dip and found it to be way too sweet and not really very good. So he made his own version to take to a party, and I’ll admit that his version is actually good. It is festive looking, and easy to put together. The recipe for Christmas Eggnog Cheesecake Dessert Dip makes a lot for a crowd, and is a unique dip that guests will come back over and over for more.

Although it is plenty sweet, this dessert won’t put guests into a sugar coma – the unsweetened whipped cream cuts the sweet and makes it palatable - and, while it contains plenty of ingredients with preservatives and additives, and isn’t healthy in the least, it is actually tasty.

24 Servings

1 3 oz. package vanilla instant pudding mix
2 cups commercial eggnog

1 24.25 ounce container prepared No Bake Cheesecake, such as Philadelphia brand
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
5 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, (1 package), crumbled (save the 5th for garnish)

Christmas Sprinkles

Dippers, such as vanilla wafers, shortbread fingers, chocolate & vanilla sugar

1. Mix the vanilla instant pudding mix in a blender container with the commercial eggnog; whizz, scraping the sides down at least once. Immediately pour the mixture into a large bowl.
2. Stir in the cheesecake mix, whipped cream, and crumbled Christmas Tree Cakes; stir well and transfer to a large serving bowl.
3. Smooth out the top, sprinkle with the Christmas sprinkles, and place the reserved Christmas Tree cake in the center. Cover with plastic wrap and chill well.
4. Serve with dippers: vanilla wafers, shortbread fingers, chocolate or vanilla sugar cookies, graham crackers, etc.
