Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 8 ounces whipped cream (such as Cool Whip)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 drops green food coloring (adjust for desired shade)
  • Red heart sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated, creating a sweet and fluffy base for your dip.
  3. Fold in Whipped Cream and Food Coloring: Gently fold in the whipped cream and green food coloring using a spatula until the color is evenly distributed and the mixture is light and airy.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl, sprinkle red heart sprinkles on top to create a festive look, and serve immediately with your favorite snacks such as cookies, crackers, or fruit.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to make blending easier and smoother.
  • Adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of green.
  • Use whipped topping like Cool Whip to add lightness, but fresh whipped cream can also be used for a homemade touch.
  • This dip is best served cold; refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour for a firmer texture if desired.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
