Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons rum extract
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened) your choice
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients. Before you start mixing, make sure all your ingredients are ready. Soften the cream cheese if you haven’t already; it should be soft enough to blend easily.
  • Step 2: Mix the Cream Cheese and Sugar. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Step 3: Add Flavorings. To the cream cheese mixture, add vanilla extract and rum extract. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Step 4: Fold in the Whipped Topping. Gently fold in the whipped topping until it’s fully combined with the cream cheese mixture.
  • Step 5: Incorporate Pineapple and Coconut. Carefully fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut. Ensure both are well-drained.
  • Step 6: Serve and Enjoy. Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour. Serve with your choice of dippables.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is fresh and softened fully to avoid lumps in your dip. Chill the dip for a little while for the best flavor.
