When our party is done and the kitchen is clean I sit down and enjoy this cheesecake “ice cream.” Try it next time, let me know what you think of it!

Where’d you get the sprinkles?
Aren’t they cute?! I mixed tree sprinkles with gingerbread men. I found them on Amazon, http://amzn.to/2h7NOLP They make the dip festive, so I couldn’t resist!
This is such a yummy and festive treat for the holidays! I love the gingerbread men as cookies to dip.
Thanks Maggie!
I love the idea of getting the taste of cheesecake. Eating a whole piece of cheesecake can be overwhelming sometimes.
The problem with that thinking is, you just have a few bites, and before you know it, you’ve eaten more than a whole slice’s worth!
That sounds so good! My family would love it.
Thanks, Autumn!
I love gingerbread, so I can imagine how delicious this dip must taste! I make a pumpkin dip like this and it always goes over well at parties, but I am thinking your dip needs to be on my next appetizer list!
Okay, this just hit the spot. We need this in our lives.
Aww thanks Chloe!
What a yummy Idea indeed. This dip looks delicious. My kids would love this for sure. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
