What Is Fruit Dip Made Of?

Who doesn't love a recipe with minimal ingredients? I know I sure do, and even more, if it's low in carbs.

Here's what you'll need to get started making this fruit dip recipe:

• Full fat cream cheese- The high fat content in the cream cheese makes it the perfect base for this dip. It helps hold off the cravings for sweets and helps keep you fuller, longer.
• Heavy cream- Keeps this dip soft enough for dipping ripe, tender fruit without adding a ton of extra ingredients.
• Swerve or your preferred powdered keto-friendly sweetener- The amounts you use of this ingredient will depend on your favorite product, so add a little bit at a time, tasting as you go, for the perfect sweet bite.
• Vanilla extract- Provides additional sweetness and earthiness to the keto dip to keep the amount of keto sweetener required to a minium.

How To Make Fruit Dip

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base. In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and beat it with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. This will ensure a velvety texture for your dip.
2. Sweeten and Flavor. Add the powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener to the cream cheese. Mix well until the sweetener is fully incorporated. Then, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, which will enhance the overall flavor profile. Continue mixing until all the ingredients are well combined.
3. Incorporate the Heavy Cream. Slowly pour the heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture while continuously whisking. This step helps achieve a light and fluffy texture for the dip. Keep whisking until the dip is smooth and creamy without any lumps.
4. Chill and Let It Set. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and cover it. Place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour, allowing it to chill and set. This step ensures that the flavors meld together and the dip reaches the desired consistency.
5. Serve and Enjoy. Once the dip has chilled and set, it's ready to be enjoyed! Prepare an assortment of low-carb fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries for dipping. Arrange the fruits around the bowl of dip, and you're all set to serve this delectable treat to family and friends.

Tips And Tricks

I'm not sure that these are tips and tricks as much as simple kitchen best practices, but keep them in mind while you're preparing your cream cheese fruit dip.

• Bring your cream cheese to room temperature. It probably goes without saying, but trying to mix a cold and hard block of cream cheese with other ingredients isn't the easiest thing to do. Bring your cream cheese to room temperature before you get started to make for simple stirring.
• Use sweeteners sparingly. If you've ever used keto sweeteners, you know that a little goes a long way. Remember you can always add more, but you can't take away after it is mixed together. So, add a little, taste, add a little more, and keep going. Not only will the final result be perfect, but you'll get a little snacky reward while you're in the kitchen.
• Mix thoroughly. With the small amounts of ingredients used, it's hard to tell when they're mixed together well enough, leaving big pockets of sugar substitute or vanilla. When you think it's good and mixed, go ahead and mix it a little bit more for good measure.

Variations

• Add some citrus. Feel free to experiment with different flavors by adding a hint of citrus zest, such as lemon or orange, to the dip. This will add a refreshing twist.
• Dial up the sweet. If you prefer a sweeter taste, adjust the amount of sweetener according to your personal preference. Remember to taste and adjust as needed.
• Switch up the flavor. You can also incorporate a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of cocoa powder for extra flavor variations.

What To Serve With Keto Fruit Dip

When it comes to serving a Keto Fruit Dip, there are several options that pair well with its creamy and fruity flavors. Here are some delicious low-carb choices to consider:

• Low-Carb Fruits- The primary choice for serving with a fruit dip is, of course, an assortment of low-carb fruits. Some excellent options include strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. These fruits are relatively low in carbohydrates and provide a natural sweetness that complements the dip.

• Nuts and Seeds- Another great accompaniment to the fruit dip is a selection of nuts and seeds. Consider offering almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, or pumpkin seeds. These provide a satisfying crunch and a source of healthy fats, making them an ideal addition for a keto-friendly snack.
• Low Carb Crackers- If you're looking for a more substantial option, consider serving the fruit dip with keto-friendly crackers or crispbread. Look for options made with almond flour, coconut flour, or flaxseed meal, as these are lower in carbohydrates and provide a satisfying crunch.
• Dark Chocolate- For those who enjoy a touch of indulgence, a few squares of dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage (70% or higher) can be a delightful accompaniment. The rich, bittersweet chocolate pairs well with the fruit dip and adds an extra layer of decadence.

Remember to keep portion sizes in mind and practice moderation, as some of these options, like nuts, seeds, and dark chocolate, can be higher in calories.

How Long Does It Last?

Fruit dip from scratch typically lasts for about 3-5 days when stored properly in the refrigerator. Ensure it is kept in an airtight container or covered tightly with plastic wrap to maintain its freshness.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezing fruit dip is not recommended because the texture and consistency may change significantly upon thawing. The creamy nature of the dip can separate or become watery when frozen and then defrosted.

If you have fruit dip that you simply can't finish within its recommended storage duration, it's generally best to either reduce the recipe to a smaller batch next time to prevent waste or consider sharing it with others! This way, you can enjoy the fruit dip at its best quality and avoid any potential loss of flavor or texture that may occur from freezing.
