- 1 cup whipped topping thawed
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring pastel pink, lavender, yellow, mint green
- Optional: pastel sprinkles
Instructions
- Step 1: Cream the Base
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese for 1–2 minutes until completely smooth and lump-free.
- Step 2: Add Sweetness
- Add marshmallow fluff and powdered sugar.
- Mix until fully combined and fluffy.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Step 3: Fold in Whipped Topping
- Gently fold in whipped topping using a spatula.
- Mix just until incorporated to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Step 4: Add Color
- Divide dip into bowls if using multiple colors.
- Add a small amount of gel food coloring and stir until evenly tinted.
- Step 5: Chill & Serve
- Spoon into a serving bowl.
- Top with pastel sprinkles if desired.
- Chill for 30 minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
- Always use fully softened cream cheese to prevent lumps.
- Do not overmix after adding whipped topping or the dip may lose fluffiness.
- Gel food coloring works best to avoid thinning the mixture.
- If dip is too thick, add 1 tablespoon milk at a time.
- If too thin, add 1–2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
- Best served chilled.
