Do you allow your kids to lick the mixer attachment or the spatula? This is one recipe that will have them begging - unless you beat them to it. This is the base for scrumptious, light and fluffy frosting and it just happens to be my favorite fruit dip. This is so much better than those pre-packaged fruit dips sold in stores. I've made this so many times and have tweaked the recipe over the years. My kids have been all too happy to be taste testers. Mix up a batch for your crew and serve with your favorite fruits. We especially like to pair this with strawberries, pineapple, and mango.
1 brick cream cheese, softened
1 pound 10X sugar
1 capful vanilla extract
1 large tub cool whip
(If you know me in real life then you are aware of my disdain for cool whip. I don't use it - except in this recipe. We prefer fresh cream whipped and sweetened at home but cool whip holds up better for this recipe.)
In mixing bowl combine cream cheese and extract. Mix/beat on high until creamy. Slowly add sugar, being careful to scrape down the sides of the bowl. When mixture is smooth fold in cool whip.
You can jazz up the dip by adding 1 can of crushed pineapple (extremely well drained).
Store covered in refrigerator for up to 1 week. I'll share other uses for this base soon.
Enjoy!
