Fruit Dip Recipes

Green apples, tangy orange slices, yummy bananas or tropical watermelons and mangoes, fruits are a refreshing treat at any time of the day. Fruits can either be eaten fresh, or made into fresh fruit juices, fondues or milkshakes. In case you are looking for innovative ways to consume fruits, there is nothing more refreshing than some creamy and delicious fruit dips to spice up the fruit platter. Here are some interesting fruit dip recipes that you can try at home …

Rich Almond Fruit Dip Recipe

This is perhaps the simplest fruit dip recipe, which simply tastes like heaven. Delightful and creamy marshmallow sweetness combined with the crunchy almond bits just make for the perfect dip for your fresh fruits.

Ingredients:
  • Softened Cream Cheese – 8 ounces
  • Marshmallow Crème – 7 ounces
  • Roasted Almonds – ½ cup
Preparation

Mix the cream cheese and the marshmallow crème in a large bowl with a blender. Mix thoroughly until it forms a homogeneous soft paste. Now ground the roasted almonds in such a way that you will have medium sized bits of crunchy roasted almond. Now add the almond chunks into the cheese and marshmallow cream mixture. Mix thoroughly so that the almond chunks are spread uniformly throughout the mixture. One useful tip is that add the almond chunks just before serving so that the crunchiness of the roasted almonds is preserved. Garnish with crunchy almonds on the top of the dip. You can use this dip with any fruit of your choice.

Indulgent Mocha Fruit Dip Recipe

A very indulgent fruit dip with the goodness of chocolate and the mesmerizing aroma of coffee liqueur that is guaranteed to be a rich, creamy and fragrant dip for your luscious fruits.

Ingredients:
  • Softened Cream Cheese – 8 ounces
  • Fresh Whipped Cream – 8 ounces
  • Sweetened cocoa powder/ Cocoa syrup – 1/3 cup
  • Coffee Liqueur – 1/3 cup
Preparation

Take the softened cream cheese and the whipped cream and beat it or blend it together until you form a smooth paste out of it. Now mix the cocoa powder with one to two tablespoon of water or milk in order to create homogenized cocoa syrup. In case you want an easier option use sweetened chocolate flavored syrup. Now blend the chocolate into the cream and cheese mixture. Now add the coffee liqueur and blend it in the mixture using a blender. Make sure all the ingredients are mixed well. Garnish with some delicious chocolate chips. This dip tastes best with all kinds of fresh berries, especially strawberries.

Tangy Lemon Kiwi Fruit Dip Recipe

A refreshingly tangy lemon fruit dip, which is perfect for almost every fruit. The fresh fragrance of the lemon zest and the velvety goodness of cream make this a perfect fruit dip for any time and any fruit!

Ingredients:
  • Frozen whipped topping – 8 ounces
  • Sour cream – 8 ounces
  • Fresh Kiwi –1
  • Lemon Zest
  • Sugar Syrup
Preparation

Take the whipped topping and the sour cream in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Use a blender to form a homogeneous mixture. Add in some lemon zest according to taste and blend the mixture again. Peel the kiwi and dice it into really small pieces. In case you want to reduce the efforts you can simple puree the kiwi and add to the cream mixture. In case you find the dip too tangy for your taste, add some sugar syrup to incorporate a subtle sweet flavor to the fruit dip. Garnish with some fresh green lemon peels. Serve with any kind of fruit of your choice.
