How to Make Mermaid Dip
- 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. Do not over stir or the dip will become gray.
- Top the dip with assorted sprinkles.
- Serve with your choice of cookies (like vanilla wafers, butter cookies, shortbread cookies, sugar cookies, and/or gingersnaps) or fruit.
Tips Tricks and FAQs
- Be sure you use cream cheese at room temperature. This will help your dip become smooth, creamy, and fluffy.
- Feel free to swap out the colors for other mermaid-inspired colors if you choose.
- If you would rather not add food coloring you can omit it. It will be a beautiful white dip.
- This dip is best if you make it and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the flavors to mix together nicely.
Storage
This dip stores nicely in the fridge. You will want to store it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. I love having some fresh strawberries washed for a quick snack for the kids.
Make-Ahead
This dip is best when you make it ahead of time. I recommend at least making it two hours ahead of time. This helps the flavors meld together. You can make it up to 12 hours before serving.
