CREAM CHEESE MANDARIN FRUIT DIP
One of my former co-workers brought this to a potluck - it was gone before the fruit was! This is a refreshing, light dip that also works as a topper for a fruit salad. It saves well in the fridge, and for best flavor should be made the night before, and chilled overnight.

Steps:
- Bring all ingredients to room temperature FIRST!
- Whip the cream cheese and marsmallow together, then fold in the drained mandarin oranges.
- Check the consistancy: if it seems thick to you, then add the reserved juice, 1/4 tsp at a time. I prefer my topping thicker, like a dip, so I only add 1/4 tsp juice.
- If you are going to mix it into the fruit salad, then you would want it thinner.
- I also prefer to put it in the fridge (covered with saran wrap) overnight. Enjoy!
MANDARIN ORANGE SAUCE
A quick and easy sauce to serve with a scoop of ice cream, a piece of sponge cake or fruit cake, or cheesecake. Also good over pancakes, french toast, or crepes. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry if you like. Use fresh peaches in place of the oranges or use canned peaches with some of the juice. You can serve individual servings in wide-mouth wine glasses for pretty presentation. A great last minute dessert. I keep an angel food cake in the freezer and a couple cans of mandarin oranges in the pantry for this dessert for unexpected company.
