Fruit with Sweetened Cream Cheese Dip


One of the desserts for the Mother's Day luncheon would also be perfect for a bridal tea, girls' night out or a cookout!

Prepare your favorite fruit by washing and slicing/chopping into bite sized chunks.  Carefully, and I mean CAREFULLY!, slice a medium sized pineapple lengthwise.  Gently remove enough of the pineapple to have room for the dip.  Cube the pineapple pieces up as well.

Now for the dip:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 lemon, zested and juiced

Soften cream cheese and with an electric mixture on low speed blend in the powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time. Increase mixer speed to medium and add in whipping cream until it forms soft peaks. Combine beaten cream cheese, whipped cream, granulated sugar, lemon juice and zest until you have your desired consistency.  Add to pineapple half for dipping.
