food coloringin pink, green, red, and blue (mix blue and red to make purple)
various sprinklesÂ
Instructions
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 over-stir 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. Again, do not over-stir or the dip will become gray.
Top the dip with assorted sprinkles.
Notes
Serve the dip 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!
