Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Instructions
- Soften Cream Cheese: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until softened, making it easier to blend smoothly.
- Beat Cream Cheese: Beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and fluffy to ensure a creamy base for the dip.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract thoroughly until fully incorporated, adding sweetness and flavor.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture until it is light and airy without deflating the fluffy texture.
- Chill Before Serving: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors meld and the dip firms up slightly for better consistency.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
- Use a gentle folding technique when adding whipped topping to maintain airiness.
- This dip pairs excellently with a variety of fresh fruits such as apples, strawberries, and pineapple.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
