This Grinch Dip is a festive and creamy sweet treat perfect for holiday gatherings. Made with cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and whipped topping, it features a vibrant green color thanks to food coloring and is beautifully garnished with red heart sprinkles. It’s quick to prepare and pairs well with cookies, fruit, or crackers for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (115g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (75g) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • Green food coloring, as needed
  • Red heart sprinkles, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: Add the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Until Smooth: Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together until the mixture is well combined and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping to maintain a light and creamy texture in the dip.
  4. Add Green Food Coloring: Stir the mixture to combine, then gradually add green food coloring one drop at a time, stirring continuously until you reach the desired bright green shade and the dip is evenly colored.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with red heart sprinkles for a festive look. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers such as cookies, crackers, or fruit.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Add food coloring gradually to control the green shade.
  • This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; stir before serving.
  • Choose dippers like graham crackers, pretzels, or strawberries for a delicious combo.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with vegan alternatives.
