This refreshing Lemonade Fruit Dip is a creamy, tangy treat perfect for pairing with fresh fruit. Made with cream cheese, whipped cream, and bright lemon flavors, it’s a delightful and easy-to-make dip that elevates any fruit platter.

Ingredients

Scale

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

For Serving

  • Fresh fruit (such as strawberries, apple slices, grapes, pineapple chunks, or your choice)

Instructions

  1. Blend Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Whip Cream and Add Sugar: Beat in the cold heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture forms stiff peaks, giving the dip a light and fluffy texture.
  3. Add Lemon Flavor: Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the whipped mixture and blend just until combined, incorporating the bright, citrusy flavor evenly throughout the dip.
  4. Chill the Dip: For the best and strongest lemon flavor, cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling step helps the flavors meld and the dip firm up slightly.
  5. Serve: Transfer the chilled fruit dip to a serving bowl and place it in the center of a platter filled with your choice of fresh fruit. Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, tangy accompaniment.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest for the freshest and most vibrant flavor.
  • This dip can be made up to one day in advance and kept refrigerated.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fruits depending on the season and your preferences.
  • For a lighter version, consider using reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping instead of heavy cream.
