Gingery Fruit Dip

By Linda Larsen, About.com

Dips don't have to be savory! Vary your offerings by making this sweet dip to be served with fresh fruits.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 oz. pkg. instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1-1/2 cups whole milk
  • 6 oz. can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped candied ginger
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Preparation:

Combine pudding mix, milk and orange juice concentrate in a small bowl and mix well with wire whisk or eggbeater for 1 minute. Stir in sour cream and both kinds of ginger.

In another small bowl, combine cream with powdered sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into ginger mixture. Pour into serving bowl.

Cover and chill several hours before serving. Serve with fresh fruit for dipping. I especially like mandarin orange segments, pear slices, strawberries, grapes, and kiwi fruit. Pirouette or sugar cookies are also good dippers.
