Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Whole Milk
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) box Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ teaspoon Liquid Green Food Coloring
  • 4 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon Heart Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare pudding mix: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole milk and vanilla pudding mix until well combined. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. Soften cream cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine pudding and cream cheese: Gradually add the thickened pudding mixture to the cream cheese, mixing well to create a smooth base.
  4. Add flavoring and color: Stir in the vanilla extract and liquid green food coloring until the dip is evenly colored a bright green.
  5. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the dip mixture until fully incorporated, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
  6. Chill the dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  7. Serve and garnish: Before serving, sprinkle the top with heart sprinkles for a festive touch. Serve with graham crackers, cookies, or fresh fruit for dipping.

Notes

  • For best results, soften the cream cheese completely to avoid lumps.
  • Adjust green food coloring as needed to reach your desired shade of green.
  • This dip keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; stir gently before serving.
  • Try serving with a variety of dippers like apple slices, pretzels, or ginger snaps.
