Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
- 1 cup (240 ml) vanilla frosting (store-bought or homemade buttercream style)
- 1 cup (100 g) vanilla wafers, lightly crushed
- ¾ cup (90 g) rainbow sprinkles (heart-shaped or pink/red mix)
- ½ cup (50 g) mini marshmallows (optional)
- A few drops pink food coloring (optional)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or microwave gently in 10-second bursts without melting.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with vanilla frosting. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until silky and lump-free.
- Stir in vanilla extract and pink food coloring if using until evenly mixed.
- Gently fold in rainbow sprinkles and crushed vanilla wafers, being careful not to overmix.
- Optionally fold in mini marshmallows for added chewiness.
- Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and texture firm up.
- Transfer to a festive serving bowl and top with extra sprinkles or heart-shaped candies before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and frosting with dairy-free alternatives. For gluten-free, use gluten-free cookies and sprinkles. If dip is too thick after chilling, stir in 1 tablespoon milk or cream. If too thin, add more frosting or crushed cookies. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.
