- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup milk (adjust for desired consistency)
For Serving
- Assorted fresh fruits for dipping (strawberries, apple slices, pineapple, grapes, etc.)
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly until fully incorporated with the cream cheese for a sweet, smooth base.
- Mix in Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract to add a fragrant and sweet flavor dimension to the dip.
- Adjust Consistency: Slowly add milk a little at a time, stirring continuously, until the dip reaches your desired consistency—smooth and dippable but not too runny.
- Chill the Dip: For best texture and flavor, refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Serve the chilled dip alongside an assortment of fresh fruits for dipping, making an inviting and delicious snack or dessert.
Notes
- You can adjust the milk quantity to make the dip thicker or thinner depending on your preference.
- Use fresh fruits that are firm and not overly ripe for the best dipping experience.
- Refrigerate any leftover dip in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute half of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
- If you prefer a sweeter dip, increase powdered sugar to ¾ cup.
