Key Ingredients

Cream Cheese and Cream: I love the combination of cream cheese and heavy cream. I use the same base for the frosting of my favorite carrot cake. It’s so simple, yet so good!
Orange: Fresh orange is best since it allows you to use some of the zest, which adds an extra pop of orange flavor.
Vanilla: Use your favorite vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, which would be amazing.
Powdered Sugar: I use 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, which makes this fruit dip slightly sweet but not overly so. You can reduce or increase based on your tastes.

How to Make Fruit Dip

This fruit dip is incredibly easy to make! Simply combine cream cheese, vanilla extract, orange zest, powdered sugar, orange juice, and cream in a bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the ingredients together until the dip is light, whipped, and creamy.

You can make this fruit dip in under 10 minutes, making it a perfect last-minute treat. It also stores well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, so you can easily make it in advance.
