Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8-ounce tub) Cool Whip, thawed
  • Optional garnish: 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Mix Cream Cheese Base: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to blend the cream cheese, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment to achieve the same silky texture.
  2. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. This lightens the dip and gives it an airy consistency.
  3. Chill the Dip: Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the top with graham cracker crumbs for added texture and a hint of traditional cheesecake flavor. Serve chilled with fresh fruit, graham crackers, or pretzels for dipping.

Notes

  • This dip pairs excellently with fresh strawberries, apple slices, or banana chunks for a fruity contrast.
  • For added texture, try mixing in chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth blend without lumps.
  • Keep the dip refrigerated until ready to serve for best texture and food safety.
