How to Make Grinch Christmas Dip
- Step 1. Microwave the dry cake mix. Place the cake mix in a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Microwave the cake mix 1 minute and 30 seconds to heat treat the flour.
Step 2. Combine the whipped cream and milk. Add in the whipped topping, cream cheese and milk into a large mixing bowl. Mix with a hand held mixer or stand mixer until well combined.
Step 3. Mix together the food coloring. Add in the green food coloring until the dip is a vibrant green coloring.
Step 4. Allow to chill. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve. This dip should not sit out too long due to the cream cheese in it.

Pro Tips
- Add sprinkles when serving. Do not add the sprinkles until ready to serve. This will prevent them from bleeding into the dip from the moisture when refrigerated.
- Room temperature ingredients. Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing. It will be easier to combine and the texture smoother.
- Make in advance. This dip can be made 1 to 2 days ahead of time. Just wait to add the sprinkles until ready to serve.
- Gel food coloring. Gel is preferred over regular food coloring. The color is vibrant and the texture less watery.
- Gradually add food coloring. Slowly add the food coloring until it is the desired shade of green.
FAQs
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. It stores easily and the leftovers taste great.
No, we do not recommend freezing this dip. Freezing will change the texture of the dip and it will not taste the same.
