Festive Easter Treat (Print-Friendly Version)

A creamy, sweet dip with pastel sprinkles and vanilla flavor. Simple to whip up for Easter or any springtime celebration.

# Ingredients:

→ Base Mixture

01 - 8 oz (1 package) of softened cream cheese
02 - A container (8 oz) of whipped topping like Cool Whip
03 - Half a cup of powdered sugar
04 - 1 tsp of vanilla extract
05 - A few drops of pink coloring for food
06 - Half a cup of pastel sprinkles or mini candies, like mini eggs or M&M's
07 - Optional: A quarter cup of marshmallow fluff for extra creaminess

→ Dipping Options

08 - Fresh strawberries
09 - Crispy graham crackers
10 - Sweet marshmallows
11 - Salty pretzels

# Steps:

01 - Take a big bowl and beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until it's smooth without any lumps. This makes it extra creamy.
02 - Slowly add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing as you go. If you're adding marshmallow fluff for that soft texture, fold it in here.
03 - Carefully fold the whipped topping in until everything blends perfectly and gets fluffy.
04 - Mix in drops of pink coloring until you love the shade, then gently combine half your sprinkles or candies, saving the rest for decoration.
05 - Scoop the dip into a serving dish and sprinkle the remaining candies or sprinkles on top. Chill it for 30 minutes or more so the flavors come together.

# Notes:

01 - Pair this creamy dip with fruits, marshmallows, or even crackers for a cheery bite.
02 - If you’ve got leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the fridge and finish them within 2 days.
