Help, my director mentioned a fruit dip using marshmellow cream and strawberry cream cheese, it that all that it in in? What kind of fruit goes well with this and do you have any tips on what tools to use to cut the fruit up? Thanks so much! Or if you can recommend another recipe that is great too! I saw the strawberry salsa, are there other chips beside making your own? Thanks!
 
That's all that's in the strawberry dip. It's very yummy!! I replied to the western brunch pizza and fruit dip question about how to cut up the fruit but I don't know how to paste that reply in here. Go to search for fruit and you ahould be able to read the suggestions.

ThanksThanks again, wasn't sure if there was more in that or not. While looking at recipes I found a recipe for Stawberry Brushchetta that sounds so yummy to! Hmmm. have to decide which to do! Thanks!
 
Also try...My favorite strawberry fruit dip is 1 c. strawberry yogurt and 1 c. cool whip. Very simple...very good! It shows the measure all cup and mini chillzanne bowl :) The strawberry salsa is very good too....never used any chips other than the cinnamon tortilla ones the recipe calls for. They are pretty simple to make also.
 
GeorgiaPeach, do you just dip fresh strawberries into the yogurt/cool whip dip?

You can dip any fruit you want in this dip:D
 
Thanks for the dip ideas! I was looking for one, I'd like to make one with fruit for my HWC fundraiser on Monday.:D
 
When you don't want your dip to be strawberry use marshmallow cream and regular cream cheese, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Your dip will be white.

Where was the strawberry brueshetta recipe?? I have been searching for it, and even on the PC website doing a search and I come up with nothing! I know I have it...what cookbook is it in?
Thanks so much!
 
I know for sure it was in the the Season's Best from S/S 05, but I believe it made a reappearance in the SB F/W 05. The same season we did the Crostini with Garlic Shrimp, Marinara, or Olive Salad.
