Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 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

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon Heart Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: Whisk together the whole milk and vanilla pudding mix thoroughly until fully combined. Let the mixture set for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken to pudding consistency.
  2. Combine cream cheese and pudding: Beat the softened cream cheese and prepared pudding mixture together using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Continue beating for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, which helps ensure a creamy texture. Softer cream cheese will blend more easily.
  3. Add flavor and color: Stir in the vanilla extract and liquid green food coloring. Beat the mixture again until the green color is evenly distributed throughout the dip, achieving a festive Grinch-green hue.
  4. Fold in cool whip: Gently fold the thawed cool whip into the pudding mixture until evenly incorporated, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
  5. Serve and garnish: Transfer the completed dip to a serving dish. Sprinkle the top with heart-shaped sprinkles for a fun, festive touch. Serve with your favorite dippers such as cookies, pretzels, or fruit slices.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • The dip can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated to allow flavors to meld.
  • Use liquid green food coloring for a more vivid color without altering the texture.
  • Try serving with gingerbread cookies or vanilla wafers for a festive pairing.
  • This dip is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days.
