Which Brands Did I Use For This Marshmallow Ghost Dip?
Sometimes when it comes to Semihomemade recipe that use packaged foods to create meals, the brands of items can make or break a dish. I don’t think this ALWAYS happens but I do know that not all packaged items are created equally.
Cream cheese – Philadelphia Cream Cheese
Whipped topping – Cool Whip
Marshmallow Fluff – I used the JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme
Ghost Sprinkles – ghost sprinkles from Sprinkle Pop
How To Make Marshmallow Ghost Dip:
- Mix the Base:
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and marshmallow fluff until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Whipped Topping:
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.
- Decorate:
Transfer to a serving bowl and top with ghost sprinkles.
- Serve:
Serve immediately with cookies, pretzels, or fruit—or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Use graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels and/or fruit slices for dipping.
Suggestions:
- Mix up the berries: Try chopped raspberries, blackberries, or even a swirl of cherry pie filling.
- Make it ahead: This dip keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a gentle stir before serving.
- Serve it fancy: Spoon it into small cups or jars for individual party servings.
- Want it lighter? Use light cream cheese and light whipped topping.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this mashmallow dip last?
Keep it covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Give it a stir before serving.
Can I make this without Cool Whip?
Yes! Fold in homemade whipped cream (about 1 cup heavy cream beaten with powdered sugar) for a more decadent, fresh version.
Tips & Tricks for the Perfect Marshmallow Ghost Dip
- Let the cream cheese soften before mixing so your dip turns out smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping instead of beating it — that keeps it light and fluffy.
- Chill the dip for about 30 minutes before serving if you want it a little thicker.
- Add the ghost sprinkles just before serving so they stay bright and don’t melt into the dip.
- Serve with a mix of dippers like Oreos, graham crackers, pretzels, and fruit for a fun variety.
- Make it ahead of time and store in the fridge overnight — just give it a quick stir before adding the sprinkles.
