Fool Proof Fruit Dip

I suppose this is a bit late to be posting a fruit dip recipe, since summer has gone away and has taken the good prices on fruit along with it. But for those of us that crave fruit during the off season and occasionally splurge on an over-priced, off-season melon, then this easy fruit dip recipe will come in handy.

But for readers that are really good at not giving in to cravings and sticking to your budgets, I'll repost this recipe next spring or summer!

This fruit dip is so easy and really kid friendly. I serve this with a fruit salad when they visit, instead of a cake or pie for dessert. It's always a hit!


Easy, Kid Friendly, 2 Ingedient, Fool Proof Fruit Dip

Tub of Cool Whip
6-8 oz, strawberry yogurt

Mix together the Cool Whip and the yogurt, chill.


See? So simple, right??? And soooo yummy! You could even make it diet friendly using Lite or Fat Free Cool Whip and fat free yogurt. Also, I'm sure that any flavor yogurt would work! I've always used strawberry yogurt. The kind with the fruit pieces in it. Adds a "homemade" look to the dip with the little bits of strawberry mixed through.

I like to use my clear glass, chip and dip bowl when I serve fruit salad with this dip for a party. When it's an afternoon snack with my nieces, I usually give each of them a small bowl of the dip and let them choose what fruit they want to eat. The individual bowls, allows for double dipping!

I'll be sharing this recipe at the following blog carnivals:

  10. Kara, I do too! This goes best with the summer fruits, though, in my opinion anyway!

    Blog Makeover Girl, let me tell you a secret...I pretend that the dip needs to be stirred before putting it away and I lick the spoon afterwards! Shhhh. Don't tell anyone!

    Unfinished mom and Brenda, this is an excellent way to get kids to eat fruit! My youngest niece hates anything that could possibly be healthy, this gets her to load her plate up with fruit just so she can dip it!

    Jodi, Me too!

    Lisa, Thanks!

    Red, No problem! Let me know if it's a hit or not!

    Debbie, I did already with my ravioli recipe! Thanks for the invite though!

    Geri, your secret is safe with me! Let me know what the grandkids think of the dip!
