# What You Need:

# Directions:

02 - Gently fold in the whipped topping and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully combined and light in texture.

05 - Serve immediately with vanilla wafers, pretzels, or fresh strawberries. For a firmer dip, chill for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
# Insider Tips:
01 -
- This dip comes together faster than your guests can set down their drinks.
- It always draws a crowd thanks to its colorful charm and cloudlike creaminess.
02 -
- If you don't let your cream cheese soften, you'll end up with a lumpy dip — I learned this when I tried to rush once.
- Adding the sprinkles too early gives the dip an odd gray tint; always wait until the last step to mix them in for pops of color.
03 -
- A hand mixer makes the cream cheese base absolutely cloudlike, so don't be shy about using one.
- Swapping in fresh lemon zest for vanilla gives the dip a snappy brightness if you want something a little less sweet.
