- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (or 1 cup heavy cream, whipped)
For Serving
- Fresh fruits for dipping (such as strawberries, apple slices, grapes, pineapple, etc.)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. This step ensures the base of your dip is silky and free of lumps.
- Add Sweetener and Flavor: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and continue to beat until fully combined and smooth. This incorporates sweetness and enhances flavor.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream to the mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much. The goal is to achieve a light and fluffy texture for an airy dip.
- Serve: Transfer the creamy fruit dip to a serving bowl, and arrange fresh fruits around it for easy dipping. Presentation encourages guests to indulge.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, sweet fruit dip alongside your favorite fresh fruits for a delightful treat.
Notes
- For best results, use cream cheese at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
- You can substitute powdered sugar with honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener, but adjust quantity to taste.
- Use freshly whipped cream for optimum fluffiness; store-bought whipped topping can alter texture.
- This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
- Feel free to experiment with dip flavors by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of citrus zest.
