Fruit Dip

bluejeans7 · Mon May 09, 2011 12:14 pm

Anyone have a yummy fruit dip recipe you want to share with me? My baby girl's promotion is coming up in less then two weeks and we are having guests over after the promotion for cake but I also want to have a huge fruit tray with lots of different fruit dips. I would love some yummy recipes if you have some to share with me.

I always make one that is just a brick of cream cheese and a jar of marshmallow fluff. It's yummy.

Yup...my favorite is the one Jenna mentioned.

You can also mix in 1/2 a jar (or more, to taste) of caramel ice cream topping into that recipe. It's GREAT on apples!

That sounds yummy!

Those both sound good. Anyone else have something different?

I've done that one with added nutmeg and a little orange juice. YUM!

My daughter can even make this one. It's very easy but tasty...great for spring and summer!

1 cup milk

1 3.4-oz. package instant lemon pudding mix

8 oz. sour cream

Whisk milk and pudding for 2 min. Let stand 2 - 3 min until soft set. Whisk in sour cream. Chill.

I used to make a dip with whipped cream and a strawberry Jello flavor.

Just a tub of whipped cream, than you grab one of the strawberry flavors like strawberry bannana, or strawberry kiwi, or whichever, and than just mix in the power to the whipped cream. It's a bit sweet and has a fruity flavor and is delicious for dipping fruits in - any kind!! Just start with half a package of the jello first though and after mixing it, see if you like how strong it is, if not, than keep adding more to taste.

Mine is just a little bit different and I even vary how I make it based on what I am doing....

1 pkg. cream cheese
1 jar of Kraft marshmallow creme
....DO NOT use Fluff, it doesn't work!!!

Now here's where I can vary
......

For a very basic dip, I add 1 cup of VANILLA yogurt to the above mixture and 3 tbs. of Orange Juice. (Another variation I have done with the basic dip is instead of the oj, I put the juice from a can of Mandarin Oranges in the mix (then put the oranges on the fruit platter)

For a fancier dip, instead of Vanilla Yogurt I use Yoplait Creamy Raspberry and Strawberry Yogurts. I usually add 2 full containers and part of a third....depends on what consistency you like.

The yogurt gives it a little tart to offset the sweet from the marshmallow creme. I must make this a dozen times over the course of a year! I'm always voltuneered to bring fruit trays and my "Sub In A Bowl" spread to events!

I made one a couple months ago that had mayo, sour cream, and marshmallow in it. Sounds weird but it was actually really good (and I'm not a big fan of mayo). It was a little tangy rather than being sickly sweet. I'll see if I have the recipe saved and come back and post it.

I was gonna say cream cheese and marshmallow, cream cheese and yogurt, and caramel. You can do different flavors just by changing the kind/flavor of yogurt; vanilla, strawberry, peach.

I do this, but add a teaspoon or so of vanilla. Also, sometimes I've added food coloring just for fun!

I use marshmallow fluff all the time... I've never had a problem with it not working.

I've had several of these recipes, and they're all good... but I'm kinda lazy so I usually just use vanilla yogurt. :P

Yummy! These all sound delicious. I think I'll try a couple for my upcoming scrap retreat.

I just use yogurt, flavored or not.

I loved my Mom's I think it is... cream cheese, sour cream and crushed pineapple that is muddled through a strainer to get all the juice and a little pulp and I think a little confectioner sugar (2-3 Tbls) but I never like it too sweet so never thought it needed it. She made it to a fairly thin consistency but I suppose that can be altered with more cream cheese less juice etc.

Thanks for all the ideas ladies. I'm going to try a couple of these.
