Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ⅓ cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- 8 ounces Cool Whip/whipped topping thawed
- 1 cup strawberry pie filling divided
- pretzels for dipping (Mini twist pretzels and pretzel crisps work great!)
Instructions
- Mix Cream Cheese Base: In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and a pinch of salt using a hand-held electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Cool Whip: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Incorporate Strawberry Pie Filling: Mix in ¾ cup of the strawberry pie filling gently. For a marbled effect, fold it in lightly to keep swirls; otherwise, mix completely for an even pink color.
- Assemble and Serve: Transfer the dip into a serving dish, garnish the top with the remaining ¼ cup of strawberry pie filling, and serve with pretzels for dipping.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps.
- You can use fresh strawberries mixed with a little sugar if pie filling is unavailable.
- Mini pretzels or pretzel crisps are recommended for easy dipping and a nice crunch.
- Keep the dip refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
- This dip is great for parties, picnics, and potlucks due to its ease and crowd-pleasing flavor.
