Let’s Get to Mixin’

Pictured above are the ingredients you will need to prepare this delicious gluten free No Bake Cheesecake dip.

Ingredients:

2  8 oz Softened Cream Cheese ( I used the lower fat option)

1 8 oz Cool Whip or similar whipped topping

1 Mad Dash Mix Strawberry No Bake Cheesecake Mix packet (I used Mad Dash Mixes but you can use your favorite packaged mix)*

Assorted fruit

*You can easily substitute any cheesecake packaged mix for the one mentioned in this recipe. Just prepare your chosen mix according to the package directions and use it exactly the same way — simple swap, same delicious results.

The Mixing Process

After the cream cheese has softened, add it to your mixing bowl.  Then add the Cheesecake Mix.  Blend until the cream cheese is very creamy.

Fold in your Cool Whip or other whipped Topping.

Add the prepared cheesecake batter to a serving bowl and let chill.  Chill for several hours.

For a decorative touch, I sprinkled sanding sugar on top of the cheesecake dip right before serving.  The little candied stars could also be sprinkled on top of the dip.

Serve with assorted fruit & enjoy! 

Additional Tips

• Use mini bowls for individual servings at parties.
• Serve with cookies, graham crackers, or small pieces of angel food cake.  To keep it gluten free, be sure to serve gluten free options

Cooking With Kim

I’ve been cooking since my 4‑H days, and trust me — my biggest disasters have always involved flour. (Ask me about the Amoeba Cake.) After herbs, pizzeria life, and years in the kitchen, I’ve learned a thing or two worth passing along. A kitchen full of heart… and the occasional flour fiasco.
