Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Beat the mixture with an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk until it is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- If the dip seems too thick, mix in the milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately with fresh fruit or chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a slight citrus flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest to the mixture.
- You can substitute brown sugar for powdered sugar, but you may need to beat the dip longer to remove lumps.
- This dip pairs well with strawberries, grapes, apple slices, and melon.
