Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Thinning Ingredient:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk
Serving Suggestion:
- Assorted fruits (such as strawberries, apple slices, and grapes)
Instructions
- Whip the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until it achieves a velvety, uniform texture without any lumps.
- Incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the cream cheese, blending thoroughly to create a harmonious mixture.
- Slowly introduce milk to the mixture, stirring continuously to develop a smooth, spreadable consistency that easily coats fruit.
- Transfer the prepared dip into a serving bowl, covering with plastic wrap to prevent skin formation.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
- Before serving, give the dip a gentle stir to restore its creamy texture.
- Arrange an assortment of vibrant, fresh fruits like strawberries, apple slices, and melon chunks around the dip for an inviting presentation.
- Provide small dessert forks or toothpicks to encourage easy, elegant fruit dipping.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest, lump-free texture that blends effortlessly.
- Adjust milk quantity carefully to control dip thickness – start with small amounts to prevent over-thinning.
- For a lighter version, substitute part of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt to reduce calories and add protein.
- Experiment with flavor variations by adding a dash of cinnamon, almond extract, or orange zest for extra excitement.
