Dip, Dip like a Unicorn Dip…
No, I’m not talking about dance moves. I’m talking about an ooey, gooey colorful dip that you can eat with sorts of mix-in’s. It’s simple to make and looks so cute too! Just think of it as tasty Unicorn fluff!
The key to a good unicorn dip is making sure you nail the colors. Sure, Unicorns can be all sorts of rainbow colors but I truly love the pastel pink, purple and mint.
While you can certainly use food coloring, I’ve found that gel food colors actually mix better into food such as the cream in this dip.
Remember a little goes a long way and will help you achieve that pastel color look for your dip.
In case you are wondering which gel food colors I used, I found mine on Amazon. The links to the colors I used are below.

Unicorn Dip
What You Need:
- 1 package cream cheese – softened
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup marshmallow cream (fluff)
- 1-3 cups sugar – You can omit the sugar if you’d rather or even use less to get the consistency you’d like.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 pastel gel food colors – I used pink, teal, and purple
- Graham crackers or wafers for dipping
- Colorful sprinkles (optional) for topping
- Edible glitter (optional)
How to Make Unicorn Dip:
In a small bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until you have soft peaks.
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, your heavy cream, marshmallow cream, sugar, and vanilla. Blend with an electric mixer until smooth.
Divide mixture into 3 equal parts, and add one *small* drop of gel color to each until you have a desired color.
In a clean serving bowl, add 1 spoon full of each of your colored mixtures, alternating until your bowl is full. Take a fork and stir lightly until you have a desired blended look.
Add sprinkles and edible glitter.
Serve with graham crackers, wafers, or your favorite fruit.
**You can serve immediately, or cool in the fridge for 1 hour**

NUTRITION
Nutrition information is a rough estimate only; actual values will vary based on the exact ingredients used and amount of recipe prepared.
I made this for my daughter’s 3rd birthday party, it was so delicious and easy to make. I used less than 1 cup of sugar. However, I used regular color food drops and the colors came out more dark than pastel, but I covered it with sprinkles and it was great to dip Nilla Wafers and Strawberries in it!
This is delicious! I doubled the recipe but I used about 1.5 cups of powdered sugar for the entire doubled recipe. I also used “extra creamy frozen whipped topping” so it would hold its shape better since I’m using a piping tip to put it into a serving dish. It turned out great!
Yay thank you for sharing! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
I made this recipe, but changed the 3 cups of sugar to 1 1/2 cups of sugar, and it was delicious!! No grainy texture or anything! Thanks for the great recipe!
Yes, I agree. 3 cups of sugar seems too much! Way too gritty. We will probably still serve it with fruit and graham crackers for my daughters 5th unicorn family birthday celebration today but may toss the extra and remake another time with much less sugar.
I am going to have to try this again with maybe 1 cup sugar instead of 3 because 3 cups was too much! It ended up being grainy and sickly sweet. I couldn’t taste anything other than the sugar.
This recipe is pretty, but I can’t believe it calls for 3 whole cups of sugar, in addition to marshmallow fluff! I’ll need to dip vegetables in it to balance out the sweetness! Luckily I have some extra whipping cream I can add in to take off the edge.
WAY too much sugar for my taste. 59 g?!?! Next time I’ll plan to use 1 cup. There is already sugar in marshmallow fluff!
Three cups of sugar? Made this and it was so gritty i had to throw it out.
Can this be refrigerated overnight?
It can but I will say, it makes the dip a little bit harder so I prefer to enjoy it right after being made.
Way to much sugar
