Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup crushed shortbread cookies or pound cake cubes
  • Additional strawberries and cookies for garnish or dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat again until fully combined to create a smooth base for the dip.
  2. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, mixing until the dip is light and fluffy, which helps achieve a creamy texture that’s easy to dip into.
  3. Add Strawberries and Cookies: Stir in the diced fresh strawberries and half of the crushed shortbread cookies or pound cake cubes, evenly distributing the fruit and cookie pieces throughout the dip.
  4. Chill the Dip: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the top with the remaining crushed cookies and a few extra chopped strawberries for garnish. Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  5. Serve: Serve chilled with shortbread cookies, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit for dipping, making it a delightful and easy dessert for gatherings or quick treats.

Notes

  • For a sweeter dip, add a tablespoon of strawberry jam to the mixture.
  • This dip can also be layered like a trifle for a more elegant presentation.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
