Description
This Cream Cheese Fruit Dip is a delightful addition to any fruit platter!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit, for serving
Instructions
- Start by taking the 8 oz of cream cheese and allow it to sit at room temperature until it’s soft. This will make it easier to beat.
- Once softened, take a medium mixing bowl and add the cream cheese. Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, beat the cream cheese until it becomes smooth and fluffy, which should take about a minute.
- Next, gradually add the 1/2 cup of powdered sugar along with the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients together until they are well combined. The mixture should be a creamy and sweet consistency, perfect for dipping.
- Once thoroughly mixed, gently fold in the whipped topping. Use a spatula for this step, carefully incorporating the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture without deflating the light texture of the topping.
- For the best flavor and texture, place the dip in the refrigerator and let it chill for about 30 to 60 minutes. This will allow all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- After the chilling period, it’s time to serve! Arrange a selection of fresh fruits like strawberries, apples, and grapes, and place your cream cheese fruit dip in the center for a delightful, colorful presentation.
Notes
