Description

This sweet and creamy Easter Dip is a festive and delicious treat perfect for spring gatherings, Easter brunches, or kids’ dessert tables. Made with whipped cream, cream cheese, and colorful Easter candy, it’s ideal for pairing with fruit, cookies, or graham crackers to add a fun and flavorful touch to your celebration.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip) or freshly whipped cream

Mix-Ins and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup pastel M&M’s or mini chocolate eggs (chopped if large)
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles (Easter-themed)
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp almond extract or lemon zest for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps to create a silky texture.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Flavorings: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. If using, also add almond extract or lemon zest for a subtle flavor twist. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping or freshly whipped cream until the mixture is light, airy, and fluffy, giving the dip a creamy consistency that’s easy to scoop.
  4. Add Candy and Sprinkles: Carefully stir in the pastel M&M’s or chopped mini chocolate eggs and Easter-themed sprinkles, reserving some of the candy and sprinkles for garnish to enhance presentation.
  5. Chill before Serving: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with the remaining candy and sprinkles for a festive look. Chill the dip in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  6. Serve: Serve chilled with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for dipping, making it a fun and interactive dessert option.

Notes

  • Customize the dip by using different candies or flavored extracts to suit your taste preferences.
  • This dip can be made up to a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for convenience.
  • For the best texture, let the dip sit out at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
