What You Need to Make It
Below are the key ingredients. Exact amounts are in the recipe card further down the page.
- Cream cheese — the smooth base; soften to room temperature for best results
- Powdered sugar — for sweetness and a silky texture
- Butter — softened; salted or unsalted both work
- Vanilla extract — rounds out the flavor
- Brown sugar — mixed with cinnamon for the cinnamon-roll layer
- Cinnamon — the star spice
- Heavy whipping cream — whipped in to make the dip light and fluffy
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Dip
Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Reserve about a quarter cup of the mixture to use as the white icing swirl. Stir cinnamon and brown sugar into the remaining mixture, spread it into a serving bowl, and pipe or drizzle the reserved white mixture on top in a swirl. Chill until ready to serve.
What to Dip into Cinnamon Roll Dip
My top pick is Biscoff cookies—the caramel spice matches the dip beautifully. Other great options include vanilla wafers, graham crackers, pretzels for a sweet-salty contrast, and fresh strawberries.
Quick Tips
Allow the cream cheese and butter to soften to room temperature so they blend smoothly.
Beat the heavy cream in until the mixture is light and fluffy; otherwise, the dip can be too loose.
Store the dip chilled in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
