Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 8 oz tub Cool Whip (or 2 cups whipped cream of choice)
- 1 7.5 oz jar marshmallow fluff
- 3–4 packets hot cocoa mix powder (approximately 3–4 tablespoons)
Toppings and Garnishes
- Mini marshmallows, for topping
- Mini chocolate chips, for topping
- Crushed peppermint or candy canes, for topping
- Sprinkles, for topping
- Cocoa powder, for dusting or topping
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the entire 8 oz tub of Cool Whip, the 7.5 oz jar of marshmallow fluff, and 3 to 4 packets of hot cocoa mix powder. Using the lower amount initially is best, and you can adjust to taste.
- Mix Until Fluffy: Use an electric mixer and start blending the mixture on low speed. Gradually increase to medium-high speed, mixing until the dip is creamy, smooth, and fluffy. This process typically takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer and Garnish: Scoop the whipped cocoa dip into a serving bowl. Top it with festive garnishes such as mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, crushed peppermint, candy canes, sprinkles, or a light dusting of cocoa powder for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve with Dippers: Offer the dip alongside dippers like Oreo cookies, graham crackers, Biscoff cookies, vanilla wafers, pretzels, strawberries, or apple slices. This sweet and fluffy dip pairs beautifully with a variety of snacks.
Notes
- The amount of hot cocoa mix can be adjusted to your preferred chocolate intensity; start with 3 packets and add more if desired.
- For a homemade version, substitute Cool Whip with freshly whipped heavy cream.
- Keep the dip refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
- This dip is not cooked or baked and relies on the fluffiness of whipped products for texture.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract for additional flavor variations.
- Make sure all ingredients are well chilled before mixing to achieve optimal fluffiness.
