I'd like to make a fruit dip for graduation party this Saturday. I've had dip before but have never made it. A quick google search says marshmallow whip, cream cheese and a little bit of orange juice.
I mainly want it for strawberries but will have grapes too. Anyone have some tried and true dips?
.
TIA!

This is a recipe that I have made for years and it is always a hit. It is good with most fruits and is extra good with melon balls. Fruit Dip
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup pineapple juice
dash salt
5 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream for whipping
Beat egg yolks and sugar together Add juices and salt
Cook in the top section of a double boiler over boiling
water until thick. Can use a smaller pan over a bit larger pan
if you don't have a double boiler. Let mixture cool. Whip cream
and fold the pineapple mixture into it. Store in fridge

I cheat and dip my fruit in Noosa yogurt. It started as a local brand so I am not sure if available everywhere?

My all time favorite is Toblerone dip and it is perfect for strawberries! Just melt a bar (or 2) of Toblerone and when it has cooled slightly, mix in some cream. Serve with fruit. Really delicious. The ratio of chocolate to cream varies a lot on the recipes I've seen. Some use 100g Toblerone to 300ml cream, and some use 200g Toblerone to 150ml cream. I personally like a higher ratio of chocolate (of course!!).

I make the cream cheese/marshmallow fluff one, but I add about a teaspoon of vanilla vs the orange juice. My friend's DH calls it Fruit Crack Dip.

I use a block of cream cheese, a small jar of marshmallow cream, a few drops of lemon juice. Mix with a mixer until smooth. Delicious!

I've always used equal amounts of marshmallow fluff and yogurt - vanilla is great!

Thanks everyone. I think for this party I am going to stick with the cream cheese and marshmallow fluff since I have it on hand. But I'll have to try those others sometime this summer!

I get lots of compliments on Cool Whip and any flavor yogurt, I mix half and half.

I was helping out at a party once and the hostess asked me to make the fruit dip and hers was just a standard size (not the larger one) tub of Cool Whip, and one block of cream cheese, with a touch of vanilla extract, beaten until fluffy.

For strawberries I LOVE to dip in sour cream, then a dip into brown sugar...each in it's own separate dish. I know it's not a dip perse, but it's soooo good with strawberries!!

I stir a little brown sugar (to taste) into sour cream. Let it sit for 15 minutes and voila! Easy fruit dip. DH loves it. |

It's never hardened up when I've made it, but perhaps it depends on the ratio of chocolate to cream. It should be runny. No, not runny, it should be thick but soft. Does that make sense? I would imagine that it would only harden if you put it in the fridge. |

This fruit dip is so good that it doesn't last long. It is great with strawberries, watermelon, and raspberries, plus any other fruit. I always make it during strawberry season.
1 can condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup whipping cream
Optional:
2 Tbsp brandy or rum
Mix Condensed milk and lemon juice in large bowl.
Add brandy if using.
Whip 1 cup of whipping cream until stiff. Add to other ingredients.
Serve with fruit right away or refrigerate to make chill.

Mix together 1 container sour cream (12 oz, i believe) 1 cup milk, 1 package instant vanilla pudding, and 1 tsp vanilla - it's great with strawberries.
