Dip Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A few drops of pink food coloring
- 1/2 cup pastel-colored sprinkles or mini candies (e.g., M&M’s or mini eggs)
- Optional: 1/4 cup marshmallow fluff
Dippers
- Graham crackers
- Pretzels
- Strawberries
- Marshmallows
Instructions
- Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This step ensures the dip will be free of lumps.
- Add the Sweetness: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined. If using marshmallow fluff, fold it in now for an extra creamy texture.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated without deflating the mixture.
- Add the Color and Sprinkles: Stir in a few drops of pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade. Fold in half of the pastel sprinkles or mini candies, reserving the rest for garnish.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining sprinkles or candies on top. Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
Notes
- Softening the cream cheese to room temperature is key to achieving a smooth dip without lumps.
- Fold gently when incorporating the whipped topping to keep the dip light and airy.
- You can substitute pastel sprinkles with any colorful mini candies or chopped Easter chocolates.
- For a non-pink version, omit the food coloring or use a different color to match your theme.
- Serve the dip chilled with graham crackers, pretzels, fresh strawberries, or marshmallows for dipping.
