Here I go again, with one more easy fruit dip to give us all some options for our fruit platters!
This fruit dip combines cream cheese and brown sugar to make a rich and creamy dip with a slight caramel flavor. Absolutely perfect with apple slices and whatever other fruits you're in the mood for.
With only 3 ingredients and 5 minutes, you can have this dip ready to serve!
Why I Love This Fruit Dip With Cream Cheese
Easy and delicious: my favorite combination!
Once the cream cheese is at room temperature, it only takes 5 minutes or less to mix the ingredients together.
And the result is a smooth, creamy, caramel-y dip, delicious on just about any fresh fruit. It's ready to eat right away, no need to wait before serving.
Serving this dip with a fresh fruit platter gives everyone choices: plain fresh fruit, or fruit with something "extra". It's a win-win for everyone!
Cream Cheese Fruit Dip Ingredients
- Cream cheese: if you'd like to make this dip a little healthier, use a low-fat cream cheese.
- Brown sugar
- Vanilla extract
How to Make Fruit Dip With Cream Cheese
The only preparation required is to let the cream cheese warm to room temperature. Which is of course necessary whenever you want to mix it with something else.
Mix that cream cheese with brown sugar and a little vanilla. I use a hand mixer to ensure it is evenly mixed and perfectly smooth.
And voilà! The fruit dip is ready to serve!

Cream Cheese Fruit Dip Serving Suggestions
Your serving options? So much fruit to choose from! Strawberries, grapes, bananas. Apple slices - so yummy with that hint of caramel flavor! I also went a little tropical with fresh pineapple and sliced mango.
But don't limit yourself to just fruit. Graham crackers, Nilla wafers, and animal crackers can add even more variety to the selection.
The beauty of a fruit tray is you can have something to please every palate!
