Recipe Variations

There are several flavor options you can try if you want to make your very own fruit dip recipes:

  • Orange: Add two tablespoons of orange juice concentrate for a bright, citrusy flavor. If you are not serving this to kids, you could use two tablespoons of Grand Marnier. There is also non-alcoholic Grand Marnier you can get on Amazon.
  • Cinnamon Honey: Beat in 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. 
  • Jello Fruit Dip: Use 3 ounces of Jello powdered mix. Fun flavor options include black cherry, cherry, fruit punch, grape, green apple, lemon-lime, mango, peach, and pineapple.
  • Nutty: A spoonful of peanut butter makes for a very tasty dip for apple or pear slices.

What to Serve with Fruit Dip

Any fruit will do. Whatever is your favorite – apple slices, strawberries, grapes, pears, pineapple, cherries, etc.

But you don’t have to limit yourself to just fruit! Try serving your homemade dip with cubes of pound cake or even pretzels for a sweet and salty taste. This tasty dip also goes well with oreos or pecan pie.

Think about serving it, for example, on a beautiful charcuterie board. Let your presentation bring out the artist in you!

Can Fruit Dip be made ahead?

Even though you can easily throw this fruit dip together for last-minute gatherings, it’s also great if you’re planning.

You can easily make this dip a day or two before you plan to serve it. Just keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to five days.

I do not recommend freezing this dip. The texture will not be the same once it’s defrosted.

How to Store Leftover Fruit Dip

Be sure to store any leftover fruit dip in the fridge. Store in an airtight container for up to five days.
