Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

0.5 cup pineapple chunks well-drained for best results
0.5 cup maraschino cherries drained and mashed finely
0.5 cup mandarin oranges gently drained to remove excess liquid
16 ounces cream cheese ensure it's completely softened at room temperature
0.5 cup sour cream full-fat for a richer, creamier texture
0.5 cup powdered sugar sifted to prevent lumps in the dip
1 cup bright pink candy melts can substitute with white chocolate chips and pink food coloring
50 g Spring themed sprinkles for a festive and colorful garnish

Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Electric mixer
Microwave-safe Bowl
Fork

Method

Drain the fruit.
Combine pineapple and cherries in a bowl and mash into smaller pieces with the back of a fork. Drain again.
In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and powdered sugar.
Beat with mixer on medium speed until smooth.
Add mashed pineapple and cherries and beat again until well blended.
Add mandarin oranges and beat again until ingredients are thoroughly combined. Refrigerate while you melt the candy.
Place candy melts in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 10-20 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until candy is completely melted. Let cool for a minute or two.
Remove dip from the refrigerator and stir in melted candy until well blended.
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, then top with sprinkles. Serve with your favorite cookies or fruit for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

This dip is best served chilled. For a less sweet version, you can slightly reduce the amount of powdered sugar. A great make-ahead option for parties!
