Ingredients

Scale

Lemonade Fruit Dip

  • 8 ounce brick cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Fresh fruit for serving (such as strawberries, apple slices, pineapple, grapes, and melon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Base: In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it is creamy and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Whip the Cream: Beat in the cold heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar using the electric mixer. Continue beating until you achieve stiff peaks, which means the cream should hold a firm shape when the beaters are lifted.
  3. Add Lemon Flavor: Fold in the lemon juice and lemon zest gently until all the ingredients are fully combined and the lemon aroma is evenly distributed in the dip.
  4. Chill for Flavor: For best results and a strong lemon flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Serve: Transfer the chilled fruit dip into a serving bowl. Arrange the bowl in the center of a fresh fruit platter and serve immediately. Enjoy the creamy, tangy dip paired with your choice of fresh fruits!

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth dip.
  • Use cold heavy whipping cream straight from the fridge for better whipped cream consistency.
  • You can substitute lemon juice with lime juice for a different citrus twist.
  • This dip can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated to enhance the flavors even more.
  • Serve with a variety of fresh fruits such as strawberries, apples, pineapple chunks, grapes, or melon slices for a colorful platter.
