Well, folks, the school year is winding down and summer is sneaking up on us! With that season will come plenty of opportunities for parties and playdates. I don't know about you, but when I'm asked to contribute a dish to a potluck or get-together, I prefer to bring something that's homemade yet quick and easy, since my schedule is already jam-packed. This White Chocolate Cheesecake Fruit Dip just so happens to fit both of those requirements!
Made with sweet white chocolate blended into tangy cream cheese and lightened up with fresh whipped cream, this dip is a breeze to whip up.
Another bonus is that fruit dip also tends to be universally enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
And shhhh...don't tell anyone, but all of those fruit dippers have actual nutritive value, making this treat a relatively healthy dessert.
Whether you accompany this dip with berries, apple slices, pineapple wedges, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or a spoon, I guarantee that the bowl is going to be licked clean!
Speaking of berries, do you notice the whole red, white, and blue thing going on here, between the dip and the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries? I think that this recipe would be perfectly patriotic at an upcoming Memorial Day party, or later this summer to ring in the 4th of July.
The next time you're in the mood for an effortless sweet treat, give this White Chocolate Cheesecake Fruit Dip a whirl! I think it will become an often-requested family favorite. It's my new go-to fruit dip, and I have big plans to make it all spring and summer long! 😉

Hi, Wanted to let all of you know that if you need to make this Dip or any cream cheese recipe and your in a hurry or have forgot to take it out of the frig... I have the solution. Run HOT tap water into a clean vessel large enough to hold your brick of cream cheese.. don't worry about leaks its sealed. and even if a few drops of water get in its still OK it will pour right off. allow to sit in the hot water for about 6-10 minutes and use as usual.. Please know the HOT tap water will NOT cook the cream cheese or change it in any way it will only warm it for you to be able to work with it..as though it was allowed to set out and warm up to room temp.
Such a great and useful tip, Janice...thank you for sharing that! 🙂
Hello sorry this may be a English thing but what do mean by heavy cream - double or whipped thanks x
Hi Michelle! Heavy cream is like thick, high-fat milk before the extra fat is skimmed off. It's usually sold in pints or quarts near the regular milk. It's not whipped yet, but if you beat it at high speed, it will turn into whipped cream. Does that help? Please let me know if you need more clarification. Enjoy the recipe! 🙂
I can't wait to try this.
I hope you enjoy it when you do, Shirley! 🙂
A definite party hit! Love this recipe, Samantha!
