- 4 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of whole milk and the 3.4-ounce box of vanilla pudding mix until smooth. Set aside to allow the pudding to thicken for a few minutes.
- Combine cream cheese and pudding: In another bowl, beat the softened 8 ounces of cream cheese with the thickened pudding mixture until no large lumps remain, ensuring a creamy texture.
- Add flavor and coloring: Gently mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon of liquid green food coloring to infuse the dip with festive flavor and vibrant color.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Carefully fold in the 4 ounces of thawed Cool Whip to lighten the dip, creating a fluffy and airy consistency.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of heart sprinkles evenly across the top for a charming and festive finish. Serve the dip immediately with your favorite dippers.
Notes
- This dip is best served immediately for freshest texture, but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- If storing, cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
- Use whole milk for the creamiest consistency; low-fat milk may result in a thinner dip.
- Adjust green food coloring quantity to achieve desired festive hue.
- Serve with sugar cookies, graham crackers, or fruit slices for delicious dippers.
