Favorite Fruit Dip

I've been making this fruit dip for years and it's always a guest favorite.  It comes from Kraft Foods. It can even be made lower in fat and calories by using low or no fat cream cheese and light or fat free cool whip.  I started making this dip in college when the dining halls served this amazing fruit dip and I started a quest to find my own favorite fruit dip!  This isn't anything like the one from college, but it's my go-to fruit dip recipe these days.  Instead of just serving a fruit salad at your next gathering, try this fruit dip with grapes, strawberries or apple slices.  I don't think your guests will be disappointed!

Favorite Fruit Dip
Makes: 2 cups

4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup cranberry sauce
4 oz. cool whip (1/2 of a small tub)

Mix together the cream cheese and cranberry sauce with a mixer (standing or hand held) until blended thoroughly.  Don't worry if it looks lumpy at first, after a few minutes it will come together.  It's okay if there are a few lumps left in it.  Making sure the cream cheese is room temperature before mixing helps ensure it blends smoothly with the other ingredients. Once blended, fold in the cool whip.  Voila!  Serve with any type of fresh fruit. Enjoy!
