This month: Fruit Dip Recipes

Fruit Dip Recipes: In this issue of the Breakfast and Brunch Express, find a selection of fruit dips to serve with fresh fruit as part of a summer brunch menu.

Hello Everyone!

With summer fruits at their best and in abundance, a fruit dip can be a nice complement to a light summer dessert or fruit platter when served as part of a brunch menu.

Fruit dips are always a hit at receptions, graduations, wedding showers and baby showers. You can get creative and serve it inside of a hollowed out melon half. Interesting dips make fruit platters look more delicious and appetizing.

Our family favorite is the cream cheese fruit dip because it tastes just like a caramel apple and is made with cream cheese, brown sugar, and finely chopped nuts. Both my son and husband thought this one was the best so far. It makes a really quick after school snack. Scroll down to view more fruit dip recipes.

If you have been trying to eat a bit healthier, a small dollop of your favorite fruit dip is a tasty way to enjoy many fresh fruits and is a better menu choice than many other calorie laden snacks.

Happy Eating!
