How to Make Valentine’s Day Dip

- 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 small 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 burgundy.
- 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
- Use Room-Temperature Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
- Don’t Overmix: When swirling the colors, stop once you achieve a marbled effect to avoid blending the colors too much.
- Chill Before Serving: Let the dip rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up and intensify the flavors.
- Go Wild with Dippers: Beyond cookies, try apple slices, strawberries, or pretzel rods for unique dipping options.
