Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smoother texture.
- Do not overmix after adding the whipped topping to maintain the dip’s light and fluffy consistency.
- The magic shell hardens quickly when chilled, so spread it evenly and refrigerate immediately.
- Pair the dip with salty snacks or fresh fruit to balance the sweetness.
