Best Cream Cheese Wreath Recipes

EGGNOG CREAM CHEESE DIP W/FRESH FRUIT WREATH

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl & beat till smooth. (I love my immersion blender & it would be great for this)
• To Serve: Place dip in a serving bowl on a rd serving plate or platter & arrange fresh fruits around it to create a decorative, edible wreath.
• HINT: A note says to "Keep any cut fruit fresh by sprinkling w/lemon juice.", but I have found it more efficient to brush the cut surfaces of fresh fruit (such as apples or pears) using my pastry brush -- or -- put lemon juice in a sml plastic bag, add the fruit slices/wedges, shake to cover the cut surfaces w/juice & store in a container w/a snap-on lid till ready to serve.
