Cheesecake doesn’t have to be in cake form. This sweet creamy cheesecake dip is perfect for any holiday party!
Hi all! I’m making this delicious dessert for a little event called Healthy Holidays by the lovely blogger Carly of Createlive. A few of us got together and created a few lighted up holiday dishes. Come check us out!
When I think of Thanksgiving I don’t think of turkey, or yams or even fresh baked bread. I think of dessert! Growing up there were a million different desserts. Every pie you could think of, cookies, brownies, jello molds (don’t judge, I grew up in the mid-west) and of course, cheesecake. The cheesecakes I always grew up with soft and creamy and never heavy and dense like you see in New York. This was probably because they were Jello No-Bake but I still loved them!
The cheesecakes of my past where a definite inspiration for this dip. If you are hosting dinner you need a quick dessert and this will totally fit the bill! You can put this dessert together in under 20 minutes and can even be made the night before. Over the summer I made cheesecake stuffed strawberries that I thought were the most simple cheesecake dish ever. I was wrong. This is even easier!

What a fun dessert switch up! I bet this would be awesome with fruit
I’m making this for my mom and sister!
I’m not going to lie, I love the jello no-bakes too. This looks delicious! I could probably eat the whole bowl with a spoon…would it sill be healthy? 😉
I love cheesecake in any form, but a healthy version..even better!! yummy pics!!
I love cheesecake so much, this dip is such a great idea
Yum! I made something similar to this before, with peanut butter in the cream cheese mixture. This looks delicious, and much less guilty than actual cheesecake. 🙂
MMM this sounds so good. We never had more than a pumpkin and pecan pie when I was growing up, but all that is changing now 😉 I definitely want to make this for an app this year, I know my familly would love it!
Brandy! This looks delicious 🙂 Just showed all the girls I work with and we’re passing around the recipe!

This sounds wonderful. Perfect for family gatherings for the holidays, I’ll be sharing this one!
I may have to throw a bit of this in a graham crack crust and top it with a little lemon curd. Would that still be healthy? It looks great!
