Ingredients in Patriotic Dip
To make this deliciously sweet 4th of July snack, you need:
- cream cheese
- powdered sugar
- vanilla extract
- m&ms
- shredded coconut
If I can't find a bag of patriotic m&ms, I pick the blue and red out of the basic m&m package. And while shredded coconut is technically optional, it adds a nice refreshing kick.
In addition to the dip ingredients, you'll need dippers if you'd prefer not to eat it by the spoonful. 🙂 Salty snacks like pretzels make for great dippers for this red, white and blue dip, as do dippable fruits like strawberries.
For younger kids, teddy grahams and vanilla wafers are good options.
How to Make Patriotic Dip
To make this 3 step dip, follow these simple instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and white sugar until mostly smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time and mix until smooth.
- Mix in m&ms and shredded coconut.
Once you've made the patriotic dip, serve on a platter spread with salty snacks, like pretzels, and sweet dipping fruit, like strawberries. Teddy grahams, animal crackers, and vanilla wafers are also other great options for dippers.
If you aren't serving this right away, store it in the fridge. Because your patriotic dip will stay soft even when in the fridge for a while, you don't have to worry about bringing it to room temperature before serving. I love this dip because it is just so easy all the way around!
