Chocolate Fruit Dip

With the weather being so dark and gloomy the last few days – I’ve tried to lift our spirits by making the evening meal a little more fun.

It’s amazing how heads perk up when you place something new and yummy on the table – especially if it contains chocolate!

This recipe had caught my eye in a magazine a few years ago – but I had never tried it.

Silly me!

A creamy chocolate cheesecake like mixture that you dip fruit in – hello! Why did I wait so long?

The kids laughed and teased each other while consuming large quantities of fruit and dip. I just sat back and smiled.

It worked!

Chocolate Fruit Dip

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese – softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups Cool Whip

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the cocoa and vanilla; mix well.

Carefully fold in the Cool Whip until smooth.

Serve with an assortment of fruit.

This makes about 2 cups.

Quick, easy, and so delicious!

Enjoy!
