- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cold milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping, carefully mixing until fully incorporated and maintaining a light, airy texture.
- Chill: Refrigerate the whipped mixture for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the texture to firm up to a dip-like consistency.
- Serve: Use the whipped Kool-Aid dip with graham crackers, fresh fruit, or as a colorful topping for cakes or cupcakes.
