Experience the Holidays: Fabulous Fruit Dip! Recently I served a delightful fruit cup for breakfast when family came to visit. Because it is made with Greek yogurt and nutmeg, it’s an impressive alternative to ordinary yogurt. Think of it as Summer-in-a-Cup. Whether you decide to arrange a generous fruit platter for a crowd or scale it down to individual portions, the results are the same: heavenly delicious!
FABULOUS FRUIT DIP
Ingredients:
1 large orange*
8 ounces of Neufchâtel cheese, room temperature
4 ounces marshmallow Creme
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon orange extract
1/8 teaspoon orange zest
Smidgen nutmeg
Assorted fresh fruits
Mint Sprig for Garnish
Instructions:
Cut 1/3 off the top of the orange to create a “bowl”. Carefully run a sharp knife around the inside. Do not cut through the peel. Gently scoop out the fruit. Set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together Neufchâtel cheese and marshmallow creme. Beat until smooth. Fold in Greek yogurt. Make the zest by using the top portion of the orange peel. Add orange extract, zest, and nutmeg. Blend thoroughly. Chill one hour. Scoop into the orange “bowl” before serving. Garnish with fresh mint sprig. Place on a serving platter surrounded by fresh fruit.
* For individual servings, choose four small navel oranges.

I always enjoy a fruit plate with dip – need to remember to use yogurt more often. Love the way you elevated the dip in the stemmed bowl over the fruit – I need to do that kind of presentation more often 🙂

The orange “bowl” actually gives the filling a light citrus flavor. Thank you for the compliment. 🙏🏻🍃🍊

I like to carve out a red, yellow, orange or green sweet pepper and use it for a dip for veggies 🙂
