4 Ingredient Easy Orange Cream Fruit Dip

Today I am teaching you how to make the easiest fruit dip ever. I recently was experimenting with a new quiche recipe and it reminded me of the time when I had a delicious quiche with a side of fruit in an orange cream sauce at a local Louisville, Kentucky restaurant called Austin’s.
Serve This Fruit Dip as a Side Dish
Although that Austin’s restaurant closed years ago, I have fond memories of going there to eat with my best friend when I was in high school. I savored every bite of the dish, as it was quite a special treat that I was barely able to afford on my teenage babysitter salary at the time. Because of this memory and because I can no longer eat at Austin’s, I knew I had to recreate the orange cream fruit concoction on my own so I could eat it anytime I want.
See how I serve this with quiche in my quick video below or on my Pinterest page @carolynjbraden
Orange Cream Fruit Dip
In an effort to recreate the entire meal, I came up with the orange fruit dip in a matter of minutes! It’s not exactly like Austin’s orange fruit dip, but it’s very close and super easy to make. It makes a perfect dessert, brunch or lunch side dish or snack.

8 oz. cream cheese, softened at room temperature for 15 minutes or until blendable

This Fruit Dip Is a Perfect Brunch Dish

How-To:
Place all the fruit dip ingredients into a medium sized mixing bowl.
Either use a spoon or spatula to stir all ingredients together until smooth OR use a stand or hand mixer and blend on a medium speed for about 1 minute or until it is smooth (no cream cheese lumps should be seen)
Either serve on top of fresh fruit, on the side, or mixed into the fruit to create a sweet fruit salad
If you can make it 24 hours before you need it, it will taste even “orangier”!
Eat and enjoy!
Serve it on the side or mix it with fruit for a refreshing treat
Tips and Tricks:
I found my ingredients at Whole Foods but the ingredients can be found at most grocery stores and online
You can omit the orange peel, but the peel is what gives it the true orange flavor
