Equipment
- Mixer
- Bowl
- Spatula
- Serving Dish
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 3.4 oz. instant vanilla pudding
- 20 oz. crushed pineapple do not drain
- 4 oz. whipped topping thawed
- Graham crackers, Nilla wafers, or vanilla wafer sticks for dipping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with your mixer on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the instant vanilla pudding mix to the cream cheese. Mix on low speed until combined and thickened.
- Gently fold in the 20 oz. of crushed pineapple (with juice) using a spatula until evenly mixed.
- Carefully fold in the thawed whipped topping into the pineapple and cream cheese mixture for a light, fluffy texture.
- Transfer the dip into a serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled with graham crackers, Nilla wafers, or vanilla wafer sticks.
Notes
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened for easy mixing by leaving it out at room temperature for about an hour before starting.
- For best flavor, chill the dip for several hours or overnight to let the flavors develop fully.
- This dip can be made a day in advance, perfect for party prep and convenience.
- If you prefer a creamier dip, add a bit more whipped topping when folding it in.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir in whipped topping if it thickens too much.
