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
- Mini twist pretzels and pretzel crisps for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand-held electric mixer to cream together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip or whipped topping until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Strawberry Pie Filling: Gently mix in 3/4 cup of the strawberry pie filling. For a rippled effect, do not fully stir it in, leaving streaks of pie filling. Alternatively, stir completely for a uniformly pink dip.
- Transfer and Garnish: Spoon the dip into a serving dish and garnish the top with the remaining 1/4 cup of strawberry pie filling for an attractive presentation.
- Serve: Serve immediately with mini twist pretzels and pretzel crisps for dipping, and enjoy this sweet and salty treat.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
- You can substitute the strawberry pie filling with raspberry or cherry pie filling for variety.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for a lighter version.
- Mini pretzels and pretzel crisps offer a great crunchy contrast but tortilla chips or graham crackers can also be used.
- Adjust sugar to taste if you prefer a less sweet dip.
