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. Make the pudding: Whisk together the whole milk and vanilla pudding mix in a bowl. Let the mixture set until it thickens, usually about 5 minutes, to form a smooth pudding base.
  2. Combine with cream cheese: Beat the softened cream cheese into the set pudding. Continue beating for 5-10 minutes until there are no large lumps and the mixture is smooth and creamy. The softer the cream cheese, the easier it blends.
  3. Add flavor and color: Stir in the vanilla extract and liquid green food coloring. Beat again thoroughly until the green color is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture to keep it light and fluffy. Be careful not to deflate the Cool Whip too much while combining.
  5. Serve and garnish: Transfer the dip to a serving dish. Sprinkle the top with heart-shaped sprinkles just before serving for a festive look. Enjoy with your favorite dippers such as cookies, fruit slices, or crackers.

Notes

  • Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
  • Using softened cream cheese helps achieve a smoother blend and prevents lumps in the dip.
  • Ensure the pudding mixture is fully set and mixed before adding additional ingredients for best texture.
  • Start with a few drops of green food coloring and add more as needed to reach the perfect shade.
  • Chilling the dip briefly in the fridge before serving enhances its texture and flavor.
  • Add sprinkles right before serving to keep them crisp and visually appealing.
