Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 12 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- ½ teaspoon mint extract
- Green gel food coloring (a few drops)
- 8 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Sugar, Mint, and Color: Mix in the confectioners sugar, mint extract, and a few drops of green gel food coloring. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to incorporate all ingredients evenly. Note that the color should be slightly darker than desired because it lightens when whipped topping is added.
- Fold in Topping and Chips: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping along with the mini chocolate chips until fully combined, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top for garnish, and serve immediately with cookies or fruit for dipping.
Notes
- To achieve the best texture, ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before mixing.
- Adjust the amount of mint extract according to your preference, but be careful not to overpower the dip.
- The dip can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir gently before serving if stored.
- Use green gel food coloring sparingly to achieve the perfect minty green shade.
- Serve chilled for the best flavor and consistency.
