Sometimes the best recipes are discovered completely by accident.
When I worked for my stepmother’s catering company, we would often serve a simple fruit dip made with sugar and sour cream. Someday I’ll have to post the original recipe. But until then, you’ll have to trust me…it’s super duper easy.
But when I was setting up for a mini Valentine’s Day playdate a couple years ago, it occurred to me that I could probably use some of the candy for our fruit dip instead….
And it worked!
In fact, it worked really well.
What You’ll Need:
Ingredients:
- Conversation heart candies
- Sour cream
Supplies:
- Blender or food processor
- Medium – large mixing bowl
- Whisk
How to Make Valentine’s Day Fruit Dip:
First, grind up the conversation hearts into a powder. Then mix the powdered candy with the sour cream.
I know. So difficult, right?
This recipe is perfectly sized for a mini food processor or blender. I actually used the smoothie cup from my Ninja blender kit. (Love that all the parts are dishwasher safe!)
If You Want to Reduce the Amount of Sugar
Start with only a teaspoon or two of the powder, and then add more until it
But How Does it Taste?
It’s surprisingly tasty. Even my husband liked it (and he’s more interested in savory treats).
He’s the one that noticed it tastes a lot like strawberry yogurt. Just with a little added zing thanks to the sour cream.
What Fruits Should You Serve with it?
This one’s totally up to you. We served ours with
- pineapple,
- strawberries,
- grapes,
- kiwi,
- cantaloupe, and
- mangoes.
You could even serve it with Nilla wafers or sugar wafers as a dessert.
