Can I add some different ingredients to change it up a little? Like orange or lemon juice/zest? Or cocoa? Or peanut butter? Or strawberry jam?
This dip is amazing! You can even just eat it plain! Yummm
Can you freeze this recipe?
Yes you can, but I wouldn’t really recommend. The texture might not be as smooth and creamy when it is thawed because of the cream cheese in there. So, technically you can, but the result when thawed might not be the same. I’d recommend storing in the fridge in an airtight container. It will last about 5 days.
Hi! Loving your recipes and the way you describe the recipes step by step and the great variations/add ins also!
Been making this fruit dip for years. Work to family get togethers. Everyone loves this dip from little ones to grandparents. It is “finger licking good”.
I just made this for the first time. I only made half bc after reading some of the reviews that said it was too sweet-I just wasn’t sure.
Now I wish I’d have doubled it & I cud eat the extra with a spoon.
I think it is GREAT & will be making it again.
Thanks for a fantastic recipe! I love it and my 91-year old mom won’t eat fruit without this dip!😊
Oh that makes me so happy to hear!! Glad the dip is a hit!
Thank You,
I love your recipes. I’m going to try a few of them this weekend for the Superbowl!!

this tastes great. can it ne frozen?
I wouldn’t recommend freezing. The texture of those dairy products thawed might be a little strange. The dip will last 5-6 days in an air-tight container in the fridge.
Hi I freeze it and it doesn’t hurt it
I made a double batch of this fruit dip for our 4th of July party. Everyone loved it!
