Ingredients
Method
Make the dip
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, scraping the sides as needed for a uniform texture.
- Add the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Fold in the whipped topping until the dip is light and creamy with no streaks of white.
- Gently stir in the red, white, and blue sprinkles so they stay evenly distributed.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with extra patriotic sprinkles for a layered, festive look.
Chill and serve
- Chill the dip for 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving so it thickens slightly and holds its shape.
- Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, strawberries, and apple slices for dipping.
Notes
Pro tip: soften the cream cheese fully so the mixture turns smooth without lumps. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; do not freeze. For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and reduced-sugar pudding mix if desired, keeping the texture best with full-fat whipped topping.
