# Instructions:
01 -
Start with your cream cheese - make sure it's properly softened or you'll end up with lumps! Using an electric mixer, beat it in a large bowl until it becomes super smooth and creamy. Take your time with this step - nobody wants to bite into a chunk of cream cheese!
02 -
Add the powdered sugar gradually while mixing to avoid a sweet cloud explosion! Mix in the vanilla extract too. If you're going for that extra layer of fluffiness, now's the time to gently fold in that marshmallow fluff until everything is beautifully combined.
03 -
Time for the secret to cloud-like texture! Carefully fold in the whipped topping using a spatula with gentle, sweeping motions. Don't stir vigorously or you'll deflate all those lovely air bubbles that make this dip so irresistibly light.
04 -
Drop in your pink food coloring little by little until you reach that perfect Easter pink shade. Then fold in about half of your sprinkles or mini candies, saving the rest for making it pretty on top. The candies add a delightful little crunch throughout the dip!
05 -
Scoop your fluffy creation into a pretty serving bowl, then sprinkle the remaining candies over the top for that Instagram-worthy finish. Pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes - this helps the flavors blend together and makes the dip easier to scoop.
# Notes:
