Description
A sweet and festive peppermint dessert dip, perfect for holiday gatherings and celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- One 8-ounce package of cream cheese, brought to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 7-ounce jar of marshmallow fluff
- 8 ounces Cool Whip or similar whipped topping, defrosted
- 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
- Red gel food dye
- Candy canes, finely crushed for topping
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Mix on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes until you have a silky-smooth mixture with no lumps remaining.
- Add the marshmallow fluff, defrosted whipped topping, and peppermint extract to your bowl. Beat everything together for another minute or two until well combined and airy. Don’t overmix or you’ll deflate all that lovely fluffiness!
- Drizzle 5 to 6 drops of red gel food coloring across the mixture in a sweeping motion. Switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold it through to create pretty pink swirls. Add extra drops if you want a deeper pink shade.
- Make sure to scrape down the sides of your bowl so nothing gets left behind. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set up before serving.
- Right before serving, sprinkle crushed candy cane pieces over the top.
