Questions

Why fold instead of stir in Strawberry Cheesecake Dip?

Step 3 reads: "Gently fold in the 2 cups whipped topping, thawed until the mixture is light and airy, with no streaks remaining." Folding keeps the air you just beat in. Stirring at step 3 would knock it out and the result would come out dense.

Is there a substitute for powdered sugar in Strawberry Cheesecake Dip?

The entry for Strawberry Cheesecake Dip calls for 1/2 cup powdered sugar. In its place: Blend granulated sugar with a teaspoon of cornstarch per cup until fine.

Can I make Strawberry Cheesecake Dip gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Strawberry Cheesecake Dip is 8 sheets graham crackers (for dipping). Swap the bread or crumbs for a gluten-free loaf or gluten-free panko. Everything else proceeds as written.

Is Strawberry Cheesecake Dip vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 8 oz cream cheese, softened. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan dessert collection.
