This Mermaid Cookie Dip is the perfect treat to eat while watching The Little Mermaid Live on ABC tonight (November 5, 2019) at 8:00 PM EST!
That’s right, The Little Mermaid Live is airing on ABC tonight.
Of course, many kids will not be able to stay up late to watch it, so I suggest recording it and having a watch party on the weekend.
I’m sharing 3 mermaid recipes on the blog today to help you create a fun day surrounding the show.
You can make all the recipes with the kids, decorate the living room and enjoy some family fun.
You can check out my first recipe – The Little Mermaid Cupcakes and stay tuned for the last recipe – Mermaid Mini Cakes!

- 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pink gel food colouring
- Purple gel food colouring
- ¼ cup multicoloured sprinkles + extra for garnishing (we used a mix with tons of pink, purple, blue, etc.)

How To Make Mermaid Cookie Dip
Follow along with the step-by-step process photos for the Mermaid Cookie Dip and then find the printable recipe below!
Gather all of the ingredients you will need.
Place your milk, cream cheese and 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar into a mixing bowl.
Start beating on low speed, gradually increase the speed to high.
Once the batter is smooth, stop the mixer to add another cup of sugar. Beat until smooth and then add the final cup of confectioners’ sugar.
Beat again and add vanilla extract.
Once the mixture is smooth, divide into two bowls.
Colour one bowl with pink gel food colouring.
Then colour the other with purple gel food colouring.
Add purple batter and sprinkles into the pink batter.
Fold, ensuring you don’t mix both colours. Instead, aim to blend them to create a marbled look.
Serve in individual bowls and garnish with jelly beans and more sprinkles.
Enjoy with your favourite cookies!
