Step-by-Step Instructions for Grinch Dip

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole milk and 1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk until smooth for about 2 minutes, then let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese to the mix. Use an electric mixer on low to blend until smooth.
Incorporate 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and a few drops of green food coloring into the mixture, mixing until the color is uniform.
Gently fold in 2 cups of thawed Cool Whip using a rubber spatula, ensuring the mixture remains light and fluffy.
Transfer the dip into a decorative serving dish. Smooth the top and sprinkle with heart sprinkles before serving.
