How to Make 3 Ingredient Fruit Dip
In a medium-sized bowl, mix all three ingredients until smooth and creamy. You can mix by hand or use an electric mixer. Chill for one hour in the fridge before serving.
You can easily change up the dip by adding spices like cinnamon (I always dust the top with cinnamon), nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice. For more texture and layers of flavor, add chopped nuts like peanuts, pecans, and walnuts. A fan favorite way to serve this popular dip is with crushed Heath/Skor candy bars or toffee bits.

This can be served year-round with all sorts of fruit – apples, strawberries, bananas, and more. Granny Smith apples are my favorite, the tart of the apple with the sweetness of the dip is perfect – it’s like eating a caramel apple, only better!
