Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream while mixing on medium speed. Beat until the dip is light, fluffy, and completely smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly.
- Serve cold with your favorite fresh fruit platter.
Notes
- For a dip that tastes like caramel, substitute the powdered sugar with 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar.
- If you need a quick dessert fruit dip, you can serve this immediately, though chilling improves the texture.
- This recipe works well as a simple fruit dip for toddlers when served with soft fruits like bananas or berries.
