Sweet Pink Dip (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dip Base

01 - 1 teaspoon vanilla for flavor
02 - Pink food dye (just a drop or two for color)
03 - 1/2 cup of fine powdered sugar
04 - 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, completely thawed
05 - 1 block (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened

→ Mix-ins & Toppings

06 - Optional: 1/4 cup marshmallow fluff for added sweetness
07 - 1/2 cup colorful sprinkles or tiny candies (like mini eggs or pastel M&M's)

→ For Dipping

08 - Soft marshmallows for a sweet dunk
09 - Juicy strawberries (rinse and dry first!)
10 - Crunchy pretzel twists or sticks
11 - Square-cut graham crackers

# Instructions:

01 - First, grab your softened cream cheese. Use a hand or stand mixer to whip it up till it's smooth and creamy. The smoother, the better—no one likes snagging a chunk of cream cheese!
02 - Slowly add your powdered sugar while mixing—don’t rush or you'll have sugar flying everywhere. Toss in the vanilla next, and if you want it extra fluffy, fold in the marshmallow fluff gently. Everything should blend together nicely.
03 - Gently mix in your whipped topping with a sweeping motion. Keep it light and soft—you don’t want to push out all that lovely air in the topping!
04 - Add a few drops of pink dye and fold it in until it reaches your desired pink shade. Stir in half the candy or sprinkles, leaving the rest aside for decorating. Bonus: the candies add a bit of crunch!
05 - Place the finished mixture into a bowl. Add your remaining candies on top for a festive look. Let it chill in the fridge for at least half an hour so it’s nice and firm when it's time to dig in.

# Notes:

01 - This colorful treat is a hit for spring parties or anytime you want to brighten up the table. Bonus points for being a crowd-pleaser with kids!
02 - Keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Any leftovers? Seal it in an air-tight container, and it’ll keep fresh for two days.
