Cream Cheese Fruit Dip Ingredients

  • Cream Cheese: Full-fat is best for a velvety texture. You can use reduced-fat cream cheese if you want to lighten the dip. Just skip the fat-free kind, it doesn’t mix well.
  • Sour Cream: You can use Greek yogurt instead if that’s what you have on hand.
  • Powdered Sugar: If you only have granulated sugar, blend it and make your own homemade powdered sugar.
  • Ground Cinnamon: Don’t like cinnamon? Leave it out or use a pinch of nutmeg instead.
  • Vanilla Extract: Use the good stuff for max flavor. If you’re a vanilla lover, feel free to double the amount for even more flavor.
  • Kosher Salt: To balance out all that sweetness.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream room temperature
  • 5 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and evenly mixed.
  • Add in remaining ingredients and whisk together.
  • Scoop into serving bowl and serve with fresh fruit and graham crackers.

Notes

  • Room Temp Ingredients: Always use softened, room-temperature cream cheese for the creamiest, lump-free dip. If you’re in a rush, place the foil-wrapped cream cheese in a hot water bath for 5-7 minutes to soften it.
  • Real Vanilla, Real Flavor: Since this recipe is super simple and vanilla shines through, always use real vanilla extract for the best taste. Skip the imitation stuff, boos!
  • Easy Does It: Don’t over-whisk the dip after adding the powdered sugar and vanilla. A few quick mixes are all you need to keep it smooth.
  • Clean As You Go: Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you mix. This ensures everything gets evenly blended and there aren’t sneaky lumps hiding in the corners.
 

How to store Cream Cheese Fruit Dip

It’s easy, y’all! Just store it in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge.

How long will Cream Cheese Fruit Dip last in the fridge?

It’ll stay fresh and creamy for up to 5 days… If the midnight cravings don’t wipe it out first. Quick reminder: if you’re snacking straight from the serving bowl, don’t double-dip boos! Once you’ve got fruit juice or cracker crumbs in there, it’s game over for long-term storage.

Can I freeze creamy fruit dip?

Yep, you can freeze this dip! Pour it into a freezer-safe container, leaving some room for expansion, and freeze for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to serve, thaw it in the fridge overnight and give it a quick mix with a hand mixer to bring back the smooth texture.

  3. I’m probably overlooking the serving size. But the nutritional facts mean nothing if you don’t know the serving size. I’m a type 1 insulin pumping diabetic and I MUST know the carb count. If I’ve missed it i apologize. As i stated I could be overlooking it or having a “senior” moment, I’m not a senior yet but I DO have senior moments! Bahahaha!!
