This creamy and colorful Grinch Dip is a festive no-bake dessert made with whipped topping, cream cheese, pudding mix, and a touch of holiday magic.
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)
1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
¼ cup milk
1–2 drops mint extract (optional)
Green gel food coloring
Red candy heart or sprinkles (for garnish)
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and pudding mix until smooth.
Add milk and mint extract (if using); beat until combined.
Mix in green food coloring until the desired shade is reached.
Gently fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.
Transfer to a serving bowl and chill for 30 minutes.
Top with a red candy heart and serve with dippers of choice.
For best results, use gel food coloring. Optional add-ins include crushed peppermint, mini chocolate chips, or a swirl of fruit preserves. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
