Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Use an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk to beat the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- If the dip seems too thick for your preference, mix in the milk one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Transfer the finished dip to a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately with your favorite fresh fruit for a quick fruit snack or appetizer dip recipe.
Notes
- For a slightly tangier dip, substitute 2 tablespoons of the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of sour cream.
- This dip pairs well with strawberries, grapes, apple slices, pineapple chunks, and melon.
- Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.
