Ingredients

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 bowl until smooth. Let the mixture set until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
  2. Combine with cream cheese: Beat the set pudding together with the softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and free of large lumps. This may take 5-10 minutes, depending on how soft your cream cheese is. The softer, the easier to blend.
  3. Add flavor and color: Stir in the vanilla extract and liquid green food coloring. Beat again until the green color is evenly mixed throughout the dip.
  4. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the green mixture until fully incorporated and the dip is fluffy and smooth.
  5. Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish, sprinkle with heart sprinkles on top, and enjoy with your favorite dippers such as cookies, graham crackers, or fruit.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure the cream cheese is softened completely to avoid lumps.
  • Use liquid food coloring for a more vibrant green color without altering the texture.
  • The dip can be made a few hours ahead; keep refrigerated until serving.
  • Variations: swap vanilla pudding mix for instant cheesecake pudding for a tangier flavor.
  • Perfect for holiday parties, especially Christmas-themed events.
