Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- 8 ounces Cool Whip or whipped topping thawed
- 1 cup strawberry pie filling, divided
Dippers
- Pretzels for dipping (mini twist pretzels and pretzel crisps work great)
Instructions
- Cream the base: In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand-held electric mixer to blend the softened cream cheese, sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy base.
- Add strawberry filling: Carefully mix in 3/4 cup of the strawberry pie filling. You may choose to stir it completely for an even pink dip or leave it streaked for varied bursts of strawberry flavor.
- Assemble and serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish, top with the remaining 1/4 cup of strawberry pie filling as garnish, and serve immediately with your favorite pretzels for dipping.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing.
- The dip can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before serving; stir gently before serving if chilled.
- If preferred, substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Try using different fruit pie fillings to create varied flavors.
- Pretzels not only add salty crunch but also complement the sweet and creamy dip perfectly.
