7 Layer Fruit Dip Recipe

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Calphalon.  I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.  #KnifeSkills #IC #ad

The other day I was invited to a party.  They were providing the main dish and asked the people they invited to bring a side dish or a dessert to share.  I love parties like this where we get to try so many yummy foods and great dishes!  I love the variety of foods that show up!  I always worry what I should bring though.  Should I do a side, a dessert, will there be too many sides or desserts already....what if I bring the same thing as someone else!?  Ugh...the pressure right!?  Well today I am sharing something that is both delicious and unique.  It works as an appetizer, a dessert or maybe even a sweet side if you are so inclined.  And I guarantee no one else will bring the same thing!  Today I am sharing my recipe for a 7 Layer Fruit Dip!  It is delicious, tasty and a perfect thing to bring to any party!

This 7 Layer Fruit Dip is inspired by a traditional 7 Layer Bean Dip, but it is a sweet version!  In fact, my Baked Chili Dip is an amazingly savory dish to bring to a party, you seriously have to try it!  But this 7 Layer Fruit Dip is a sweet and lighter variation that is to-die for.

7 Layer Fruit Dip

This is a recipe that has a lot of give and take.  No real measurements so use what looks good and fits well in your dip container!

• Strawberry Whipped Cream Cheese
• Sweetened Coconut Flakes
• Hot Fudge Sauce
• Strawberries
• Blueberries

Directions:

1. Layer your ingredients into a bowl or dish in the following order: graham cracker crumbs, marshmallow fluff (you can heat this up for a few seconds in the microwave to make this easier to spread) then the strawberry cream cheese.

3. Layer your blueberries and strawberries.
4. Top with coconut and hot fudge drizzles.

Serve this with Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips.
