Instructions

Beat the cream cheese: In a medium bowl, use a mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
Add Kool-Aid and powdered sugar: Mix in the entire packet of Kool-Aid drink mix along with the powdered sugar, blending until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Incorporate milk and vanilla: Gradually pour in the cold milk and vanilla extract while beating continuously, to achieve a smooth, fluffy consistency.
Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the mixture using a spatula, mixing carefully until everything is well incorporated and light.
Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up appropriately.
Serve the dip: Once chilled, serve the whipped Kool-Aid dip as a fun accompaniment to graham crackers, fresh fruit, or as a delicious and colorful topping for cakes and cupcakes.

Notes

You can experiment with different Kool-Aid flavors to customize the taste and color of the dip.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
For a lighter option, use low-fat or fat-free whipped topping and cream cheese substitutes.
This dip should be kept refrigerated and consumed within 2-3 days for best freshness.
Optional vanilla extract enhances flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
