This healthy dairy free coconut fruit dip is made with only 3 ingredients! Serve with fresh organic fruit or coconut flour graham crackers.
We’ve been enjoying an abundance of fruit this summer thanks to our local CSA. My kids have especially enjoyed all the berries!
When we were getting ready to have company for the fourth of July my daughter asked me to make fruit dip to serve with our berries. I remember my mom making fruit dip for me when I was a kid. She made her fruit dip with sour cream, vanilla extract and brown sugar. I remember loving her dip and thought it would be fun to create a healthier dip for my kids to enjoy.
Our version of this recipe is very simple made with coconut cream, vanilla extract and raw honey. My kids gobbled up the whole tray of fruit and dip before our company arrived!

July 10, 2015 at 8:09 amI’m finding that baking w/ coconut flour as well as buying items with that as a major ingredient leaves a strange mouthfeel. Even my 6 year old can taste this. It’s an odd thing & I can’t describe it but husband says it feels and tastes strange too, although not immediately but after you eat something. We all want to eat healthy but that fuzzy kind of aftertaste isn’t helping me sell it to my family.

July 9, 2015 at 6:15 pmI guess you soften the coconut cream before whipping it, is that right? I don’t see how the hard coconut cream would whip up.

July 9, 2015 at 7:49 pmI didn’t have to soften it. You may be thinking of coconut butter, which would be very hard and would not whip up. Coconut cream is the cream on top of coconut milk and it whips up just like heavy cream. 🙂
