You know the gloppy pink dip that comes with the fruit tray from the deli?  I'm not a fan.  I would rather just have my fruit plain and naked if that is my only dipping option.

I ran across Dreamy Orange Cheesecake Dip in one of my little "kid friendly" cookbooks years ago, and I've rarely made a fruit platter without this dip since.  It's creamy and delicious; sweetened with orange marmalade and a little bit of powdered sugar--help!   It's also really, really good on graham crackers.  Perfect for midnight snacking.  :)


I have a second version of fruit dip that I use quite a bit, especially when I'm a little pressed for time.  It's good too.  I'm pretty sure the second recipe has been around since cream cheese and marshmallow creme were invented.  Give them both a try!  See...Double Dip!  :)
