Little Debbie Christmas Tree Dip Tips and Variations
This festive treat is not only easy to make but easy to customize! These are a few simple ways to make it your own. Everyone will want some of this tasty holiday dip!
- A Substitute for Whipped Topping: To use real whipped cream instead of whipped topping, whip 1 1/2 cups of cold heavy whipping cream and three tablespoons of powdered sugar to medium-stiff peaks. Use as directed in the recipe card.
- Can I Use Other Snack Cakes? Of course! The number of cakes you need to use will vary depending on the size of the cakes, but aim for about 12 ounces of cake in the dip.
- Other Toppings: Instead of sprinkles, try crushed graham crackers, vanilla wafers, mini chocolate chips, animal crackers, you name it!
Storing Leftovers
You can make this Christmas tree dip up to 1 day before serving. This will give the cakes plenty of time to absorb the whipped topping and set nicely. (This makes it even more delicious!
- Refrigerator: The dip stays fresh for up to 4 days in the fridge if you cover it with plastic wrap or store it in a sealed airtight container.
Can Christmas Tree Dip Be Frozen?
I don’t recommend freezing this dip. The whipped topping does not work well in the freezer once it’s been thawed and used in a recipe. The texture of the dip won’t turn out well if it is frozen. So enjoy it fresh, or refrigerate it if you have any leftovers!
