A festive and creamy Grinch Dip perfect for holiday parties, made with vanilla pudding, cream cheese, and a vibrant green color. This easy-to-make dip combines smooth textures and fun sprinkles for a delightful treat served with your favorite dippers.

Ingredients

Scale

Dip 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

Topping

  • 4 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon Heart Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: Whisk together the whole milk and vanilla pudding mix in a bowl until fully combined. Let the mixture set for the time specified on the pudding package, typically about 5 minutes, until it thickens.
  2. Beat with Cream Cheese: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the prepared pudding and continue beating for 5 to 10 minutes, ensuring there are no lumps. Softer cream cheese will blend easier.
  3. Add Flavor and Color: Mix in the vanilla extract and liquid green food coloring. Beat thoroughly until the color is evenly distributed and the mixture turns a bright festive green.
  4. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the green pudding mixture using a spatula. This adds lightness and fluffiness to the dip, making it perfect for dipping.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the Grinch dip into a serving dish. Sprinkle the top with heart-shaped sprinkles to add a playful and colorful touch. Serve with your favorite dippers like pretzels, cookies, or fruit slices.

Notes

  • For best results, use cream cheese softened to room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • You can substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • If you prefer a stronger vanilla flavor, consider adding an extra ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Adjust green food coloring quantity to achieve your preferred shade of green.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
