Question 1

Can I make cream cheese fruit dip ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I actually recommend making this recipe at least an hour or two ahead of time to let the flavors move and groove together. It can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can also freeze it in a Ziploc bag for up to 6 months.

Question 2

What is cream cheese fruit dip made of?

Accepted Answer

You're going to see different variations on this recipe, but I tried to keep it as basic as possible. I include cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.

Question 3

How can I make this recipe lighter?

Accepted Answer

To cut some of the fat out of your recipe, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese and either half & half or milk in place of the heavy cream. You can also use stevia instead of powdered sugar; just expect a little graininess from the stevia.

Question 4

How should I store leftovers? Can I freeze this?

Accepted Answer

I recommend sealing your leftover dip in an airtight container to store in the fridge. This will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days after preparing.

This dip can also be frozen! Just prepare as directed above and freeze in a Ziploc bag for up to 6 months. All you need to do before serving is thaw completely in the fridge. This is a great dip to keep in the freezer for last-minute party appetizers. (One note: the dip might lose some of its fluffiness if freezing.)
