Sweet Cream Cheese Dip
This homemade sweet cream cheese fruit dip has only 4 simple ingredients and is ready in just 5 minutes! Great to serve with strawberries or sweet crackers.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed to combine heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar.
- Add cream cheese. Mix on low until almost blended; slowly turn the mixer up to high speed, mixing at high speed for about 30 seconds. This will make the dip fluffy and light.
- Serve as a dip with fresh fruit, sweet crackers, or cookies.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest, creamiest texture.
- If possible, make ahead a few hours—the vanilla flavor develops beautifully as it chills.
- Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
- Freezer option: Freeze in a Ziploc bag for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving (note: dip may lose some fluffiness).
- Lighten it up: Substitute reduced-fat cream cheese and half & half (or milk) for the heavy cream. Stevia can replace powdered sugar, though it may cause slight graininess.
