Combine with Cream Cheese

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the raspberry mixture, beating until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.

Fold in Whipped Cream

Gently fold in the whipped cream and vanilla extract into the raspberry cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.

Pro tip: Use a spatula to fold gently to retain the fluffiness.

Chill the Dip

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavours to meld.

Pro tip: Chilling longer enhances the flavour.
