Director Easy Fruit Dip Recipes for MFP: Perfect for Summer

[pamperedbecky]

So, on the back of that Summer Marketing Guide, it talks about the "Cool and Serve" show, which I'm doing a version of on Saturday. It says to use the MFP to make dips to serve with fruit, but doesn't give a recipe. Does anyone know of one? All of the fruit dip recipes I know about can just be mixed together because there's nothing solid to "chop" up. Does anyone know of a fruit dip that would be a good demo in the MFP. We're not using it otherwise (the host already bought salsa and we're going more the fruit route with this one). I'm also doing "chicken your way" on the grill pan. I'd love to incorprorate the MFP, but have no clue what fruit dips they'd be referring too. Maybe I'll also email the test kitchens and hope I hear back tomorrow.

think of the MFP as a quasi-blender. I've actually made milkshakes in mine. So throw in some cream cheese and marshmallow fluff, give it a few pumps, and POOF instant fruit dip!

Thanks! I was wondering if cream cheese would get the blades all gunked up? It's worth a try. Somewhere there's a recipe for fruit dip that uses crushed pineapple, so I have some pineapple chunks or tidbits that I can do in there first to mash them all up, then add the rest. Dang, marshmallow fluff was something I didn't buy at the store just now. Because that sounds GOOD. I did buy that whipped strawberry yogurt, so I know you can mix that with something to make a fruit dip. I'm excited to do this show tomorrow and see how it goes! She's expecting at least 12 people with a handful of maybes.

Hi there! I'm so glad you're incorporating the MFP into your "Cool and Serve" show. It's a great way to showcase the versatility of this amazing kitchen tool. As for fruit dip recipes, I have a few suggestions that would be perfect for your demo. 1. Creamy Vanilla Fruit Dip: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well and serve with your favorite fruits.2. Chocolate Peanut Butter Dip: In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Stir until smooth and serve with sliced apples, bananas, or strawberries.3. Lemon Cheesecake Dip: In a mixing bowl, beat together 8 oz of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until smooth. Serve with fresh berries or sliced kiwi.All of these dips can easily be made using the MFP. Simply add the ingredients to the bowl and mix until well combined. I hope these ideas help, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions. Happy demoing!
