Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • Green food coloring (gel or liquid, adjust for intensity)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional for added sweetness)

  • Dippers: Vanilla wafers, pretzels, sugar cookies, or strawberries

Instructions

  1. Mix the Pudding Base: In a large bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Let sit for 1 minute to set.
  2. Add Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping until creamy and fully combined.
  3. Color the Dip: Add green food coloring and stir until your desired Grinch green shade is reached.
  4. Flavor and Sweeten: Stir in vanilla extract and powdered sugar, adjusting sweetness to taste.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop and texture firm slightly.
  6. Decorate and Serve: Top with red heart sprinkles or candies before serving. Pair with your favorite cookies, pretzels, or fruit for dipping.
