While I may not agree, adding a dip to the mix somehow makes everyone happy.

I’ll be honest, this dip isn’t going to win you a place in Gourmet magazine for its complicated ingredients and method. It’s one of those recipes you bring to ladies’ get togethers or church potlucks. Something light-tasting, easily paired with lots of different fruit, and tasty to boot.

Yes, before you judge, it DOES call for some instant vanilla pudding mix. If you’d rather make your own pudding mix, Michelle over at Browneyed Baker has a great-looking from-scratch recipe you can find here. Pudding mix and all, this dip was delicious and tasted almost like eating cake batter. We loved it, and Sophie did too!

(Side note: there will never be a replacement for my favorite fruit dip ever of all time, but this was delicious and we look forward to having it again!)

Servings: cups dip

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/2 (3.4oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix* (You'll use HALF the package)
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/8-1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
a little milk if desired, for thinning

Instructions

Combine & Beat. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 package pudding mix, sugar, and almond extract. Taste and add additional pudding mix if desired.
Fold in poppy seeds. If mixture seems too thick, drizzle in a little milk to thin out to desired consistency.
Serve with fresh fruit (berries, bananas, kiwi, and apple slices are all great). Additionally, you could also dip in graham crackers or anything else that sounds tasty.
Store. Keep leftover poppy seed fruit dip covered in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days.
