Coconut Cream Fruit Dip

 Together as a Family

Serve with- watermelon, cantaloupe, kiwi, grapes, bananas(cut right before you serve), blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and fresh pineapple

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  •  cups cream of coconut (Brand "Coco", found it at Smiths grocery right by the liquor and margerita mixers)
  • 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese softened

Instructions

  • Add heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer, or use a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
  • In a seperate bowl, add the cream of coconut and softened cream cheese. Blend together until combined, smooth, and mixed well.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream, with a wooden spoon or spatula, into the cream cheese and coconut mixture. Stir together until combined.
  • You can serve this fruit dip right away OR for best taste and texture refrigerate the fruit dip for 2-3 hours before serving.
  • Store leftovers, in a covered container, for up to 3 days.

Notes

Cream of Coconut : Refer to the picture in the post for a picture of what this looks like. You will find it in the drink mix aisle. Sometimes the same aisle as alcoholic beverages and/or flavored water packets. This does NOT contain alcohol. It is just normally used to make mixed drinks. It's not the same thing as a can of coconut milk. Look for it specifically by the brand name of Coco Real. 
Fridge Time : The flavors come together so perfectly and the fruit dip gets this creamy texture once it has refrigerated for at least 2-3 hours. I always make it ahead of time so it can hang out in the fridge before serving.
