Key Ingredients
Two simple ingredients is all you need to make an easy fruit dip that is light and creamy.
- Heavy Whipping Cream - Make sure this is very cold, so it whips up light and fluffy. You could substitute 2 cups of Cool Whip in place of the whipping cream, if you do not want to take the time to whip cream.

How to make Lemon Fruit Dip
This fruit dip is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. It's easy to make, only requires two ingredients, and tastes so good with fruit and crackers.
- Whip the cream. Pour whipping cream in the chilled bowl and beat with chilled beater blades until it thickens to stiff peaks.
- Fold in the lemon curd. Spoon the lemon curd into the whipped cream gently until combined.
- Serve or store. Serve right away with your favorite fruits and sweet crackers. Or chill it in the refrigerator until later.
Storage Recommendations
This fruit dip with whip cream is best if served the day you make it. It will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator if covered tightly.
Serving Suggestions
Usually we serve this easy fruit dip with different fruits and sweet crackers. Here are some other fun ways to eat it.
- Fruit skewers made with blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Add mini marshmallows for a fun patriotic look.
- Fresh strawberries and pineapple chunks
- As a topping for strawberry waffles, Bisquick blueberry pancakes, or puff pancakes.
- Sweet cookies such as graham crackers, animal crackers, or Golden Oreos.
Tips and Tricks
- Chill the metal mixer blades from an electric mixer or stand mixer for at least 10 minutes before making the fruit dip. This will help the cream to whip up faster.
- Make sure to whip the cream in a medium mixing bowl until stiff peaks form for best results. If you only whip to light or medium peaks, the dip may be softer and less fluffy.
- Add lemon zest to the dip to boost the lemon flavor.
- Layer leftover lemon dip in jars with crushed cookies and diced fruit for a fun dessert parfait.
- Change up the flavor of the dip by using lime curd, pineapple filling, or raspberry preserves.

Dunno why people like cool whip. It tastes so gross and fake and coats your mouth with oil! Always use the real natural stuff! Your body and tastebuds will thank you.
Jocelyn
It does come down to a personal preference. I actually like Cool Whip, but this particular recipe does not have any it it. It is made with heavy whipping cream!

Oh this is putting me in the springtime mood!! I am loving the sound of this dip!!! I have trouble keeping fresh fruit around for very long especially fresh berries! 🙂
Brasserie Louis
Wow! What an easy dip! Me and my 7 year-old will definitely love this. Thanks for Sharing..!!

Your lemon cream fruit dip is pure genius!!!!! I always have heavy whipping cream, and lemon curd stocked, and can understand how cool whip would not work as well with this, (and I have that in stock at all times too), but this is just perfect. Love fresh fruit a lot, but this will be so perfect for company, picnics, or just to feel special with the kabobs included. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!

Where do you find lemon curd?
Jocelyn
You can find it in most grocery stores in the peanut butter and jelly aisle.
Stevi Ashby
Thank you, I will definately check for it there!

This dip looks so refreshing and not overly sweet. I like using whipping cream at times, too, depending on the dessert I am making.
