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.
- You can use Neufchatel cheese in this dip in place of full fat cream cheese, for a lighter version.
- This sweet fruity dessert should 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 for 30 minutes or so 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.
