Want to serve a fruit tray and need a great recipe for fruit dip?
This simple fruit dip recipe is one that your guests are going to love. It's light and fluffy and goes with just about any fruit you can think of.
You can use any combination of fruit to make this fruit tray. Cantaloupe, honey dew melon, strawberries, grapes, kiwi fruit, oranges, pineapple or starfruit just to name a few. You can even use apples and bananas if you first coat them in lemon juice so that they don't turn brown. You're limited only by your imagination!
I used a half of a pineapple that was hollowed out as a serving dish for the dip. You can even use green leafy lettuce to line your serving tray to make a nice presentation.
The Dip For The Fruit:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup of cool whip, whipped topping
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Pineapple juice for thinning down the dip
Cream together the cream cheese and the powdered sugar until well blended. Mix in the lemon zest and juice. Fold in the cool whip and you may need to use some pineapple juice to thin it down to the desired consistency. Refrigerate until ready to use.
This dip will keep well in the refrigerator for several days.
This dip also makes a good afternoon snack for your kids with their favorite fruit!
I hope you enjoy this fruit dip recipe!
