This no-bake Tropical Cheesecake Dip features a combination of pineapple, lime and a hint of rum and a cherry on top. It’s ideal for those casual events when nibbling dessert is on the menu.
Tropical Cheesecake Dip
This dessert dip is one of those no-fuss sweets that are a terrific choice anytime of year. This is one of my personal favorites, based not only on the scrumptious taste, but, simplicity of preparation.
- This sweet fruity dessert dip can be made in advance, then chilled to let the flavors marry.
- Just like a classic cheese ball, I recommend that you let it soften a bit just before garnishing and serving.
- It’s a tasty bite size dessert that’s ready when you are for your dipping pleasure.
- Dessert dips are tasty when served with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, additional fruit or cubed pound cake for scooping.
- For more sweet bites, checkout my recipes for white chocolate fruit dip and banana pudding dip recipe for other options.
