What’s on top of the dip?

I placed 3 blueberries on the top to make it look cute. You can use sliced strawberries, raspberries, and any other fresh fruit as well.

How do I store this?

Please store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze the dip?

Here’s the deal, I don’t recommend freezing cream cheese because the texture will change. Please make it fresh as needed.

How long can I store the dip safely?

I tend to be on the safe side of storing food, so I recommend no longer than 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Can I add nuts to the cheesecake dip?

Oh yes, my favorite nut with this recipe is chopped pecans. We have a granddaughter who is allergic to nuts, so we skip them so she can enjoy it!

What can I dip in this recipe?

The list is endless, but here are a few of my favorite ones:

• Sliced apples
• Sliced pears
• Animal crackers
• Biscoff cookies
• Gingerbread
• Pepperidge Farm cookies
• Graham crackers
• Pretzels
• Sugar wakers
• Nutter Butters
• Lorna Doone
• Shortbread
• Vanilla wafers

Don’t be afraid to use other items in the dip. Your personal preference is the key. You may want to consider some holiday favorites or ones that will match the occasion in a traditional sense.

The sky’s the limit. I’d love to hear what you choose to dip in your newly made cheesecake dip so I can pass the info on to my loyal readers.

Can I use low-fat cream cheese?

Yes, you can, why not save on the calories, right? You’ll have to decide if it affects the sweet flavor.

Can I make my own sweetened condensed milk?

I have never made it, but with a little effort, you can. I looked at a few recipes years ago and thought about making my own, but I use it so seldom these days I opt to buy 2 or 3 cans a year of Sweetened Condensed Milk.

Final Word

Here again, this easy-to-make cheesecake dip recipe brings family and friends together in the kitchen to cook, bake, chop, or whatever is needed to make the meal special. It’s all about cooking from scratch and the joy of eating at home. May God Bless this world, Linda
