    Fruit Tray with Fruit Dip


    Source of Recipe

    Recipe Introduction


    Delicious! This makes a lot of dip though! I thought it tasted similar to the cream cheese and marshmallow fluff fruit dip.

    I used light cream cheese; decreased the granulated sugar to 2 T. and will probably skip it all together next time; I added 1/2 tsp. vanilla when whipping the cream; only used half a lemon for the juice because it was big and juicy but used all the zest; omitted the pineapple juice. I just served it with grapes, cantaloupe and strawberries. Yum!

    List of Ingredients




    2 whole pineapples
    2 large clusters green seedless grapes and
    several clusters Champagne grapes
    6 oranges -- peeled and sliced
    into wheels
    1 cantaloupe -- cut into cubes or
    balled
    1 honeydew melon -- cut into cubes or
    balled
    24 long stemmed strawberries
    6 kiwi -- peeled and sliced
    (6 to 8)
    2 cups blueberries
    Red Leaf lettuce -- to line silver tray
    French Cream:
    1 package cream cheese -- (8-ounce)
    1 cup powdered sugar
    1 cup whipping cream
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1 lemon -- zested and juiced
    Pineapple juice

    Recipe



    Soften cream cheese and then whip with powdered sugar. Whip cream and sugar together until it forms soft peaks. Combine beaten cream cheese, whipped cream, lemon juice and zest; continue to beat, adding just enough pineapple juice to achieve desired consistency. Serve with fresh fruit tray or fruit salad.
