How to make cream cheese fruit dip
- Start off with room temperature cream cheese. The softer it is, the easier it will be to mix. If it’s too cold, it will make your fruit dip lumpy, and nobody wants that, right?!
- I like to use my handheld electric mixer to get super creamy cream cheese, its also a lot faster to do this than with a hand whisk.
- Now that you’ve got the base of the cream cheese fruit dip well beaten, add in the confectioner sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream.
- Make sure to mix everything on low speed or else your powdered sugar will go flying everywhere. As the fruit dip begins to come together you cab slowly pick the speed up until you have a nice smooth consistency.
How long does fruit dip last in the fridge?
You can keep the fruit dip in the fridge for up to 5 to 7 days. Always make sure to keep it in an airtight container or cover it with plastic wrap.

where’s the heavy cream in the ingredients list? Also, 1/4 cup of vanilla extract??? seems a bit much…

Hi Sheryl, I am so sorry I accidentally messed up on the measurements. It should say 1/4 cup heavy cream and only 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. I already fixed it in the recipe card. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
