This was one of the appetizers I served at a man's retirement luncheon today. Visually appealing and so easy to make. The dip tastes just like cheesecake! Ingredients:
fresh strawberries |
fresh pineapple, cut in triangle chunks (must be fresh, not canned!) |
fresh blackberries |
fresh star fruit, sliced thin for garnish (if you can't find/get star fruit, make butter cookies instead and use a star cookie cutter!) |
bamboo skewers |
16 oz crème fraîche |
16 oz quality brand cream cheese |
sugar to taste |
zest of 2 lemons |
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Skewer fruit in order as in photo.
2. For dip: Place all ingrediants in a mixing bowl and whip using mixer until fluffy (if it is too thick, you may add cream or milk to loosen it)
3. To serve: Place star fruit garnish (or cookies) on the edge of a large platter. Place dip in bowl in the center and arrange the fruit skewers around in a circle. Garnish dip with additional star fruit or cookie. Dip away!
