RECIPE: Rec: Brown sugar and coffe liqueur fruit dip

[evan]

I have never been a fan of fruit dips. That is, until now.

I made this dip for a summer party a few weeks ago and it was so good I could have eaten it with a spoon.

I served it with a huge derving platter with all kinds of fruits but to be honest, strawberries, pine apple and green grapes worked best!

Brown Sugar Fruit Dip

Prep: 10 min., Chill: 4 hrs.

Choose any fresh, seasonal fruit to pair with this creamy dip. I prefer strawberries, pineapple, and grapes

Ingredients

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup coffee liqueur (optional. I used Baileys but Kahlua is also great)

1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed (I used vanilla yogurt)

Garnish: brown sugar

Preparation

1. Beat brown sugar and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla, and, if desired, coffee liqueur, beating until blended and smooth; fold in whipped topping. Cover and chill 4 hours. Garnish, if desired. Serve with assorted fruit.

Yield

Makes about 3 1/2 cups
