Here’s an excellent mermaid party food idea that’s just as beautiful as it is tasty! Kids will love sinking cookies and fruit into this tasty dip.

In need of a festive mermaid party food to serve your little guests? We had a lot of fun putting this mermaid dip together. The sprinkles on top remind me of the jewels and treasures Ariel was always hunting in “The Little Mermaid.” You can get creative and use a variety of sprinkles in this recipe!

This party food is great for a birthday party that’s just for mermaids or decorated with an “Under the Sea” theme.

Serve it with a few different cookies (such as vanilla wafers, butter cookies, shortbread cookies, sugar cookies, and/or gingersnaps) for dipping. It goes good with strawberries, apples and other fruits too!

Mermaid Party Food: Mermaid Dip

Ingredients:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup powdered sugar
1 (7 ounce) container marshmallow cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Food coloring in pink, green, red, and blue (mix blue and red to make purple)
Various sprinkles

Directions:

Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until combined.

Mix in the marshmallow cream and vanilla.

Fold a large spoonful of the thawed whipped topping into the dip mixture. Then fold the remaining whipped topping into the dip until completely combined.

Divide the dip into bowls and add food coloring as desired.

Carefully mix until the colors are incorporated. Do not overstir as the dip will deflate.

Add dollops of the differently colored dip to a bowl.

Then, run a knife or bamboo skewer around in the dip to create swirls. Do not overstir or the dip will become gray.

Top the dip with assorted sprinkles. For this recipe, we used the Candy Coated Chocolate Pearls and Dazzle Ice Cream Sprinkles. Both of these are available at Walmart. Amazon has cute Mermaid Sprinkles too!
