How long does fruit dip last in the fridge?

Tips for cream cheese fruit dip

• This dip can be made a few days in advance which makes it perfect for parties. If you’re making the dip ahead of time, it’s best to let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
• You’ll want to make sure that your cream cheese is softened so that you end up with the smoothest end product.
• You can serve this with fruit of course, but also graham crackers, vanilla wafers or both. It’s fun to put out a whole assortment of dippers when you’re having a party.
• Looking to save a few calories? You can use light cream cheese and light whipped topping with great results.

Fruit dip variations

To me, this dip is the perfect blend of sweetness and creamy texture, with a bit of tang from the cream cheese. You can flavor your dip in so many different ways to suit your tastes.

• Chocolate Dip: Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips.
• Brickle Dip: Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/2 cup toffee bits.
• Cinnamon Spice: Add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
• Lemon Lovers: Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon.
• Strawberry: Use a tub of strawberry cream cheese instead of plain cream cheese, and stir in 1 tablespoon strawberry jam.
• Coconut: Stir in 1/3 cup toasted coconut and 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract.

The combination of the sweet fruit and creamy dip is irresistible, and the perfect lighter treat. You’ll have everyone asking you for a copy of the recipe!
