Recipe Variations
- You can substitute freshly whipped cream for the Cool Whip. Whip 1 ½ cup of heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks to yield about 3 cups.
- If you’d like, you can leave out the rum extract.
- You can turn this dip into a delicious no-bake pie by placing the dip into a graham cracker or gingersnap pie crust!
Storage Tips
SERVE: As with most recipes with dairy products in them, you shouldn’t leave this dip out for longer than 2 hours.
STORE: Leftovers will stay fresh for up to five days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
FREEZE: Place the dip in an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 months. If you use freshly whipped cream, then please don’t freeze the dip, it will turn to soup when you defrost it.
THAW: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for about two hours before serving.
