I could spend the whole summer eating fruit and dip! This looks Ah-mazing!
Sarah says

Stefani says
This dip is super delicious! I used 33% less fat cream cheese and it gives it a different texture, so I’d say to use full fat cream cheese for sure. I also sifted my powdered sugar before I added it because it makes the dip less clumpy and more silky! 🙂 I am serving mine with apple and graham crackers! Glad I doubt;ed the recipe! Merry Christmas and thanks for the recipes!! 🙂
Stefani says
sorry! I meant doubled! Not doubted! Stupid autocorrect!
Sarah says
I’m glad to hear that you loved this dip, Stefani! I love your tip for serving it with apples and graham crackers!
Jeanette says
THIS is just what I was looking for! It is so good with my apples – I even dropped a handful of mini-chocolate chips in.
Sarah says
Oh, I love the sound of that! 🙂
