Carbs are getting a bad reputation, but I still make sure my family gets enough fruit and vegetables in their diet. This is a great substitute for a piece of cake, cookies or muffins and a lot healthier too. Feel free to mix and match fruits on this platter. The cool cream cheese and yogurt based dip goes well with just about any fruit. Ingredients:
1 cup strawberry, hulled and sliced |
2 ripe kiwi, peeled and sliced |
1 cup fresh raspberry |
2 medium ripe star fruit, sliced cross wise |
1 small ripe papaya, peeled and thinly sliced (may substitute pineapple for any of the fruits if desired) |
1 (8 ounce) container vanilla yogurt |
1 (3 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese (softened) |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind |
Directions:
1. Arrange fruit on a serving platter and refrigerate while making dip.
2. Dip: In a blender or a food processor combine ingredients for dip: yogurt, cream cheese, honey cinnamon, lemon juice, and lemon rind.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Place dip in small serving bowl and arrange fruit around it on platter.
