Ingredients
Base
- 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- ½ teaspoon mint extract
- Green gel food coloring, a few drops
Add-ins
- 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 softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Flavor 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 ensure even mixing. Note that the color should be slightly darker now, as it will lighten once the whipped topping is incorporated.
- Fold in Whipped Topping and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until combined and fluffy. Then fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dip.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, sprinkle a few extra mini chocolate chips on top for garnish, and serve it alongside cookies or fruit for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps and ensure smooth mixing.
- Adjust the green food coloring based on your desired shade, remembering the dip will lighten after adding the whipped topping.
- This dip is best served chilled; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavors and texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with suitable vegan alternatives.
