🐰 Easy Easter Dessert Dip 🐰
Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup cool whip (or whipped topping), thawed
1 cup pastel-colored candies (mini M&Ms, jelly beans, or sprinkles)
Instructions:
Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This step ensures your dip has a velvety consistency.
Sweeten and Flavor: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to avoid lumps.
Add Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the cool whip (or whipped topping) using a spatula. Fold carefully to preserve the airy texture of the dip.
Mix in Candies: Stir in half of the pastel-colored candies into the dip mixture. Reserve the remaining candies for decoration later. This adds a fun crunch and vibrant pop of color to every bite.
Chill Before Serving: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and slightly firms up the texture.
Decorate and Enjoy: Before serving, sprinkle the reserved candies on top of the dip for an eye-catching presentation. Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for dipping.
