How to Make Eggnog Dip
This is a brief overview of how to make this great dip recipe. For the full recipe with all of the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth. You want your cream cheese to be totally room temperature so it can be nice and smooth.
- Add in the flavors. Beat in the vanilla extract, rum extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Finish the dip up. Beat in the eggnog and powdered sugar.

Serving
I recommend serving this dip recipe with cookies and crackers. Cinnamon graham cracker sticks would be perfect with this. You see gingersnaps pictured with it here, and that is also delicious.
Making Ahead
This dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance. It should be stored in the refrigerator before serving.
Storing
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days. I would not recommend freezing this dip as it will greatly alter the consistency. As with all recipes, use your best discretion when it comes to leftovers.
FAQ
You can beat in more powdered sugar until you reach the desired consistency.
You can use actual rum to flavor it. It is a very small amount.

I saw this, and definitely want to try it. My only problem is that one of my kids is lactose intolerant. Do you have any suggestions for possibly making this dairy/lactose free?
Hi Tiffany! I definitely can’t speak to how it would turn out consistency wise, but there are some good vegan cream cheeses on the market, and a friend of mine just mentioned how good So Delicious Coconut Eggnog is. :)
Bob Davis says
Hi, Lisa. I’ve looked high & low, and can’t find any rum extract locally. Do you think using actual Rum instead would work?
Thanks,
Bob
Oh no!! That stinks, Bob, I love rum extract :) Yeah, if you have rum on hand, I think that will be fine.

Do you think you could freeze?
Hmmmm . . I’ve never tried freezing dip Cyndy. If you give it a go, let me know how it turns out once thawed.
Tfs says
How far in advance can you make this? It’s Thursday and I have a party on Saturday
I would only make it about a day in advance.
Janette says
Sounds delicious! What do you think about using homemade vanilla extract made with rum and omitting rum extract? Thanks in advance for any feedback~Happy Holidays
I’m not sure how that would work but I’d love to hear how it goes!
Charissa says
I tried this recipe and I was disappointed. I thought it would be a delicious holiday treat, but instead of the dip being thick, it was soupy and watery. Is there a way to make it less thin? Also, I left out the rum extract, did that have anything to do with the thickness or flavor?
Chairssa, I’m so sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy this. Yes, the rum extract definitely plays a roll in the flavor, so I wouldn’t recommend leaving it out. Additionally, it can be thickened pretty easily by just adding some more powdered sugar.
Jennifer says
Made this and it turned out kinda liquidy.. Will it thicken?
It won’t, Jennifer. But if you mix in more powdered sugar you should be good to go.
Mike Edge says
I have found powdered sugar in grocery stores that also contain cornstarch. That might help to make it thicker.
Leeann says
I made this for our family Christmas get-together yesterday, and it was a big hit! We couldn’t find rum extract at the store and didn’t want to use rum (to keep it child friendly), but it was still delicious! It was a little thin right after combining all the ingredients, but it firmed up a bit after about a half hour in the fridge — plus we kept the bowl on ice for the party. I’m so glad I found this recipe! It will definitely be a holiday staple for my family!
I’m so glad you liked it Leeann! Thank you so much for coming back to let me know!
