This no-bake Tropical Cheesecake Dip is embellished with cream cheese, pineapple, lime, rum flavoring and a cherry on top. It’s 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 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. See my White Chocolate Cheesecake Dip here.
