Kahlua Fruit Dip

This has been in my recipe arsenal since I can remember and I am not sure who gave it to me originally but, I do know it was back when you had to look up recipes in an actual cookbook.  I was probably in high school when I started making this.  Recipes that stick with me, the ones I make over and over again have two things in common... delicious and easy to remember.  This fits perfectly and I get asked for the recipe every time I make it.

Kahlua Fruit Dip

Single Batch:

• 1 small container of marshmallow fluff
• 1 8 oz brick of cream cheese
• 1 T Kahlua (or flavored liqueur of your choosing)

Double Batch:

• 1 large container marshmallow fluff
• 2 8 oz bricks cream cheese
• 2 T Kahlua

Allow the cream cheese to soften for 10-15 minutes.  Start by whipping cream cheese in a mixer, then add the marshmallow fluff.  Mix the marshmallow + cream cheese on medium until combined, about 2 minutes.  Add Kahlua and whip another minute.  Serve alongside fruit skewers or a dollop on top of fresh fruit salad.  It is wonderful with strawberries, melon, and especially tart cherries.

I have also used Baileys, Amaretto, Grand Marnier, & Creme de Cassis in this recipe with great results.  Experiment with your own favorites.
