Sweet dip for fruit?

[{sarah}]

Does anyone have a tried & true dip recipe for dipping fruit that they can share?

I have my sister's hen's night on Saturday & I'm making the dips for the fruit platter, but I've come upon a little snag. I'm doing Baileys dip, no issue there. I was also going to do a really yummy mashmallow one (cream cheese, choc syrup & marshmallow fluff) but I can't find the marshmallow fluff anywhere. I'm going to go hunting in some other supermarkets tomorrow, but in case I can't find it I need something to fall back on.....

I put this in a sponge as I can't eat fat and it's reall yummy

how about flavoured yogurt?

[sangie]

Toblerone dip? Naughty but very yummy!

Just melt a bar of toblerone and fold through whipped cream. Refrigerate until needed.

[AnyDream]

Chocolate dip - melt equal part chocolate into cream and allow to cool...mmmm.

Middleastern yoghurt dip - stir honey, cardamon, cinnamon and orange flower water into greek style yoghurt. Goes really well with rich fruit like dates and dried fruit.

Alternatively, the no-labour version involves opening a tub of king island honey & cinnamon yoghurt mmmmmm!

Ohhh dear I had no idea there were so many sweet dips out there...what a terrible thing for me to discover!

Sarah, can I ask... how do you make Baileys dip? I looooove Bailey's... (there is a bottle in the pantry just waiting for me to not be PG anymore )

[Persephone1]

Sour cream

Galleano (sp?)

[kawazuki]

passionfruit cream.

sooo yummy.

passionfruit pulp 3 tins
cream whipped 300 mls
vanilla essence 1/2 teaspoon

Jasp, it's basically the same as the Kahlua or Galleano dips people have mentioned here...

1 tub sour cream
2 tbs Baileys
2 tbs brown sugar

(I usually add more Baileys & brown sugar to get it tasting right though )
