Creamcheese Fruit dip

Hope you are doing well and in high spirits welcoming spring, those who are in this part of the world. I am  good enjoying the sun shine and the occasional rain showers even though they sometimes turn to snow showers.  That's Colorado for you!



  The last time my kids wanted to have a special dessert after lunch, I was wondering what I could make in less than 5 minutes.  Ransacking my pantry and fridge I spotted the lonely cream-cheese pushed to a corner.  The main ingredient in the easiest recipe for a fruit dip. This is the best treat you can give your kids or serve at a kids party.  It's highly unlikely that a kid doesn't like cream cheese and you need hardly sweat!


Ingredients:

Cream cheese- 8oz
Brown sugar- 1/4 cup
Granulated white sugar- 1/4 cup
Pure Vanilla extract- 1 tsp
Pistachios or walnuts (coarsely chopped)- to garnish





Method:

1.Bring the creamchese to room temperature.
2.Beat well with the sugar until soft.
3.add the vanilla extract and beat until mixed well.
4.Spoon into the dipping bowl and garnish with chopped nuts.
5.serve with chilled fruits.

  4. This sounds great! As a side note, for those of you who may not have time to let it sit at room temperature: If you stick the cream cheese (unwrapped of course) into the microwave at 40% power for 30 seconds-2 minutes, it will soften the cream cheese without melting it. Just do it in 30 second increments until soft. If it starts to melt a little, turn the power down lower.
