SUSIE'S NO-MARSHMALLOW! BERRY PRETTY FRUIT DIP

Susie's No-Marshmallow! Berry Pretty Fruit Dip image

Butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, Cool Whip and pureed strawberries - that's it. Of all the from-scratch, healthy, gourmet appetizers I made for the family holiday, this is the one they finished and wanted the recipe for. Go figure. It is fluffy and gooey good. Prep time doesn't include the fruit.

Yield 1 bowl of fruit dip

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
3 ounces softened cream cheese
2 cups confectioners' sugar
12 ounces Cool Whip
1 cup pureed strawberry (fresh or frozen)

Steps:

Cream butter and softened cream cheese.
Add 2 cups confectioners' sugar and blend thoroughly.
Fold in Cool Whip and pureed strawberries.
If using frozen strawberries (I never have) you may want to drain a bit of juice off and add it to the dip separately, a bit at a time so the dip doesn't get too thin.
Serve in a pretty bowl with a platter of your favorites: grapes, strawberries, kiwi, Satsuma oranges, Fuji apples (soaked in orange juice), fresh pineapple- you get the idea.
