Coconut Cream Fruit Dip

I first tried this dip at a recipe swap one of my friends hosted.  I was blown away by how simple, & refreshing it is paired with the fruit.  I also liked how it's easy to make & can be used to dip graham crackers in as well.  Great dip to try at home or bring with fruit for a summer potluck!  This recipe makes a lot, so I have cut the original recipe in half (for a crazy amount of dip, double the recipe.)

Coconut Cream Fruit Dip

Recipe from: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1/2 (15oz) can Cream of Coconut (Not coconut milk! Find this in the aisle with the margarita mix & other mixers.)
• 1/2 (8oz) tub Cool Whip

1. Whip the cream cheese with the cream of coconut in a stand mixer until all lumps are gone.
2. Remove paddle, & fold in cool whip.
3. Serve with fruit or graham crackers.

*Some readers have found beating the cream cheese first, then adding the cream of coconut helps to keep the lumps out.  You can also try softening the cream cheese or using the whisk attachment if lumps become a problem.
