- Then, add dollops of each color to the top of the uncolored dip and use a knife to swirl the colors together.
- Top the dip with sprinkles and serve with the dippers of your choice.
What To Use For Dippers
- Cookies – Shortbread, gingersnaps, graham crackers, chocolate chip cookies Nilla wafers, Oreos, Ladyfinger cookies, etc.
- Fruit – Strawberries, apple slices, pear slices, banana slices, etc. You may need to squeeze on some lemon juice to keep them from going brown.
- More crunchies – Crackers, pretzels, breadsticks, and more.
Tips and Variations
- Let your cream cheese come up to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Add more or less food coloring gel according to your preference.
- Add more or less powdered sugar to make this dip more or less sweet.
- Make sure to chill the dip in the fridge for at least one hour before serving. This helps with a firmer texture.
- To prevent the dip from getting too soft, serve it in a chilled bowl or place an ice pack underneath it if you’re serving it at a party.
- Customize for different occasions – top with red white and blue sprinkles for Memorial Day and 4th of July celebrations, and use crushed candy canes for Christmas.
