Key Ingredients
Cream Cheese and Cream: I love the combination of cream cheese and heavy cream. I use the same base for the frosting of my favorite carrot cake. It’s so simple, yet so good! Orange: Fresh orange is best since it allows you to use some of the zest, which adds an extra pop of orange flavor. Vanilla: Use your favorite vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, which would be amazing. Powdered Sugar: I use 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, which makes this fruit dip slightly sweet but not overly so. You can reduce or increase based on your tastes.

Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the ingredients together until the dip is light, whipped, and creamy. You can make this fruit dip in under 10 minutes, making it a perfect last-minute treat. It also stores well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, so you can easily make it in advance. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon orange zest 1/2 cup (55g) powdered sugar 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh squeezed orange juice 1/4 cup (60ml) whipping cream 2Add powdered sugar a little at a time, mixing after each addition.
