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.
