How to Make the Best Tropical Cheesecake Dip Recipe

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Tropical Cheesecake Dip: Classic cream cheese, powdered sugar, macadamia nuts, lime juice, lime zest, maraschino cherries, crushed pineapple, vanilla extract, rum extract, shredded (grated) white chocolate.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: A sheet pan, hand mixer or stand mixer, measuring cups and spoons, citrus zester and a box grater.
The grated white chocolate adds texture and flavor to the cream cheese mixture. You can adapt the size of it by using the medium or small grate side on a box grater.
It’s important to drain the maraschino cherries well so they will blend with the dip and not overpower the flavor.
You can use Neufchatel cheese in this dip in place of full fat cream cheese, for a lighter version.
This sweet fruit dip should be made in advance, then chilled for at least 6 hours or overnight to let the flavors marry.
Please note: Just like a classic cheese ball the cheesecake mixture will firm when chilled. I recommend that you let it soften a bit at room temperature (for 30 minutes or so) just before garnishing and serving.
This cheesecake dip is tasty when served with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, additional fruit or cubed pound cake for dipping into the cheesecake mixture.
Store Tropical Cheesecake Dip in an airtight container chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
