Ingredients
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip or whipped heavy cream
Green gel food coloring, to desired shade
Red heart sprinkles, for topping
Cookies, pretzels, or fruit slices for serving
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the Cool Whip or whipped heavy cream until fully combined and fluffy.
Add a few drops of green gel food coloring and mix until you reach your preferred Grinch-green shade.
Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and top with red heart sprinkles.
Chill before serving, then enjoy with cookies, pretzels, or fruit slices.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the smoothest texture.
Add food coloring slowly to avoid an overly bright green.
Make ahead and chill for up to 24 hours for even better flavor.
Try dipping sugar cookies, Nilla wafers, pretzels, or strawberries.
