Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Liquid Ingredient:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk
Serving Suggestion:
- Assorted fruits (strawberries, apple slices, grapes)
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese using an electric mixer until it transforms into a silky, velvety texture at room temperature (about 5 minutes).
- Incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until the mixture becomes uniformly smooth and glossy.
- Introduce milk gradually, whisking continuously to achieve a luxurious, light consistency that effortlessly coats fruits.
- Transfer the creamy dip into a serving container, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
- When ready to indulge, arrange an array of vibrant fruits like crisp apple wedges, succulent strawberries, juicy grapes, and sweet melon cubes around the chilled dip for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure smooth, lump-free mixing.
- Use an electric mixer for the most velvety texture, avoiding manual whisking which can create unwanted lumps.
- Adjust milk quantity carefully to control dip thickness – start with small amounts to prevent over-thinning.
- Experiment with flavor variations by adding a pinch of cinnamon, orange zest, or replacing vanilla with almond extract for a unique twist.
