- ½ cup powdered sugar (sifted for smoothness)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2–3 drops pink food coloring (or any pastel shade you prefer)
- ½ cup pastel sprinkles or mini candies (e.g., pastel M&M’s or crushed mini eggs)

Instructions
-
Whip the Cream Cheese:
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it’s completely smooth and creamy. This step is key to avoiding lumps! -
Sweeten the Mix:
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is silky and well combined. If you’re using marshmallow fluff, gently fold it in at this stage for an extra cloud-like texture. -
Fold in the Fluffiness:
Add the whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold it in until the dip is light, airy, and fully blended. -
Add a Pop of Color:
Stir in a few drops of pink (or your chosen pastel) food coloring until the dip reaches your desired shade. -
Sprinkle the Fun:
Fold in half of the pastel sprinkles or candies, saving the rest for garnishing. -
Chill to Perfection:
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the remaining sprinkles or candies on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the dip set.
-
Serve with Style:
Arrange your dippers (strawberries, graham crackers, pretzels, marshmallows, and cookies) around the bowl for a stunning presentation. Let everyone dive in and enjoy!
Notes
- If you want a sweeter dip, you can add more powdered sugar to taste.
- Feel free to swap out the sprinkles for your favorite candies, like pastel M&Ms or even crushed mini Easter eggs.
- Marshmallow fluff is optional but adds a delightful fluffiness to the dip.ر
