3831.0. "HELP ON FRUIT DIP" by MRKTNG::BEALAND () Tue Aug 10 1993 19:16

    After looking through this file, I did not find this particular dip.
    
    I made it a long time ago and cannot remember all of the ingredients,
    it's used as a low-fat fruit dip.  The only ingredients I remember, is
    sugar free vanilla pudding, yogurt and I think pineapple's.
    
    Can anyone help?

    Try note 420.5 -- it lists orange juice instead of pineapple.

    	I have a recipe for fruit dip, tres simple, but definately
    	NOT fat free..
    
    	1 - 8oz jar of marshmallow fluff
    	1 - 8oz package of cream cheese
    	1 - good size pinapple
    
    	Cut pinapple in half.  Hollow out one half, the other half 
    	you slice and then cut into pieces to dip with.
    
    	Mix fluff and cheese in same bowl, throw in a little juice
    	and pieces (small, teenie-tiny pieces) from the pinapple.
    	
    	Pour mixture into the hollow half of the pinapple and arrange
    	cut pieces around it on a platter and voila!
    
    	I brought this to many occasions, in all seasons, and it's
    	always a hit.  The funniest part is watching everyone try
    	and guess the ingredients.  NO ONE has EVER guessed Fluff.
    
    	It's also excellent to add a few strawberries to the platter,
    	the dip goes better with the strawberries than anything else.
    	I just haven't found a strawberry big enough yet to hold all
    	the dip.. ;^)

    Great Fruit Dip......
    
    
    1 8-oz pkg soft cream cheese @ room temp.
    1/3 c. milk
    1/2 c. preserves (blueberry/raspberry/strawberry/etc.)
    
    Put all ingredients in a large bowl and beat with a blender on low
    until the the milk is absorbed.  Then mix on high for about a
    minute/until there are no lumps.  Chill one hour before serving with
    assorted fruits.
    
    This is a hit every time.  Whenever I make it, I make sure I have
    plenty of photo-copies of the recipe on hand.

    My favorite fruit dip is to mix a tablespoon or two of brown sugar
    in a small container of sour cream.  And then I spend hours dipping
    all sorts of stuff into it, not just fruit!  I've even poured some
    of this over baked fruits, cobblers, gingerbread, etc.
