Base Ingredients

- 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
Mix-ins
- 10–12 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
Additional
- Green food coloring, a few drops
- Prepare the cream cheese: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add icing sugar: Gradually add the icing sugar to the cream cheese and mix thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and fluffy in texture.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture until it becomes light and smooth, maintaining the airiness.
- Mix in crushed Oreos: Stir in the finely crushed Oreo cookies, mixing just until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Add green food coloring: Add a few drops of green food coloring and gently fold the mixture until the color is even and vibrant throughout the dip.
- Chill the dip: Transfer the finished dip to a serving bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, add more crushed Oreos to your preference.
- Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, fruit slices, or cookies for dipping.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth mixture.
- Adjust the green food coloring amount depending on desired color intensity.
- The dip can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated to enhance flavor melding.
