You will need pastry bags and 1M pastry tips.
It might also be helpful to print the shape of a shamrock and trace it onto a piece of parchment paper and trim it like I did. You can place the parchment where you want your shamrock dip to go and use it as a guide.
Fill your fitted pasty bag with the dip. Pipe it onto the shamrock-shaped parchment or simply freehand your design. Press down straight and squirt a small amount of dip, stop pressing and life the bag up. Repeat this until the entire shape is created. Then, go back over it one more time to use the rest of the dip.
To take this to the next level, we will pipe the rest of the whipped topping around the shamock shape. You can do just the plain whipped topping at this point or tint it a darker green with food coloring.
If you want the ultimate St. Patrick's Day dessert, then divide the whipped topping into three bowls and tint them each a different color like I did. I did red, yellow and green. The possibilities are endless here. Just have fun with it.
Set the dip in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. The dip is good for up to 4 days if sealed and stored properly in the fridge.
Serve with a fresh fruits or a variety of cookies.
