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
  • 1 tablespoon Heart Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: Whisk together the whole milk and vanilla pudding mix in a medium bowl until smooth. Allow the mixture to set until it thickens as per the pudding mix instructions, usually about 5 minutes.
  2. Combine pudding and cream cheese: Beat the set pudding together with the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Continue beating for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Softer cream cheese will make this process easier and faster.
  3. Add flavor and color: Mix in the vanilla extract and liquid green food coloring. Beat again until the green color is evenly blended throughout the dip.
  4. Fold in the Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the green pudding mixture to create a light, fluffy texture. Be careful not to overmix to maintain airiness.
  5. Serve and garnish: Transfer the dip to a serving dish. Sprinkle heart-shaped sprinkles over the top for a festive touch. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers such as cookies, pretzels, or fruit slices.

Notes

  • For best results, use cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
  • This dip can be made a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator; stir gently before serving.
  • Adjust the green food coloring amount to achieve your desired shade.
  • Heart sprinkles add a fun festive look but are optional.
