I have homemade fruit dip recipes, so grab an apple or angel food cake and get dipping with my favorite sweet dips.
Creamy, caramel dips to butterscotch dips and everything in between. I also have savory dips and fondue too.

Mini Cheesecake Recipe
For this fruit dip recipe, you may use any pie filling to top this dip. I do not use pie filling to dip fruit. It takes away from the flavor of the fruit. See recipe above for dipping ideas…
EASY CHEESECAKE DIP
2 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 TBS pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups strawberry pie filling (optional)
Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla; set aside. Beat the heavy whipping cream until peaks form. Add this to the cream cheese mixture and mix well. Pour cream cheese filling into serving bowl. Smooth the top with a spatula, and refrigerate until firm, about 2 to 3 hours.
Spread the cherry (strawberry, blueberry, etc) filling over the top, and refrigerate until serving. Easy to make isn’t it? No hot kitchen.
Note:
Makes a great pie – just use a graham cracker crust, and add your favorite fruit topping.
