Description

Grinch Dip is a festive, creamy dessert dip perfect for holiday gatherings. Made with heat-treated white cake mix, whipped topping, and vanilla pudding or yogurt, this vibrant green dip is colored with food coloring and topped with red heart sprinkles for a cheerful presentation.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box white cake mix
  • 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping, thawed
  • ¾ cup vanilla pudding or yogurt

Color and Decoration

  • Green food coloring (a few drops, to desired shade)
  • Red heart sprinkles (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Heat treat the cake mix: Spread the white cake mix evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. Remove from oven and let the cake mix cool completely to make it safe for raw consumption.
  2. Mix the dip: In a large bowl, combine the cooled cake mix, thawed whipped topping, vanilla pudding or yogurt, and a few drops of green food coloring. Using a hand mixer, whip the ingredients until the mixture is fluffy and no lumps remain. Add more green food coloring as needed to achieve a vibrant Grinch-green color.
  3. Top the dip: Transfer the green dip to a serving bowl and decorate the top with red heart sprinkles to create a festive look resembling the Grinch theme.
  4. Serve: Provide an assortment of your favorite cookies alongside the dip for dipping and enjoying this fun and colorful holiday treat.

Notes

  • Heat treating the cake mix is essential to make the dip safe for raw consumption since the mix is not baked in the dip form.
  • Vanilla pudding or yogurt can be used; yogurt adds a tangier flavor while pudding makes it richer.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the whipped topping and pudding with respective vegan alternatives.
  • Adjust the green food coloring to reach your desired intense shade without adding too much to avoid altering the flavor.
  • This dip pairs well with sugar cookies, graham crackers, or shortbread cookies.
