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!

Notes
*Coconut cream is the cream on top of cold coconut milk (I use this coconut milk). I suggest refrigerating the coconut milk overnight before making this dip. The coconut water will pour out easily leaving the cream on top.
which brand coconut cream did you use?

Looove this recipe, I add a few drops of Lime essential oil to it (make sure it’s a consumable oil).

Can I just use a cup of Cream Of Coconut (comes in a can at the store)?
What can you do with the rest of the liquid in the can?
Add it to soups or smoothies
This dip is delicious. What can I do with the coconut liquid left over?
You can use the left over coconut water in smoothies!
That’s a great idea!
Thank you for this recipe! It’s delicious!
Once you open the can, how long does the cream stay good for?
Thank you
Mmm definitely going to try this!!
I’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.
I definitely want to try this. 😀 Do you get enough cream from one can or do you need more than one can? Thanks!!
I guess you soften the coconut cream before whipping it, is that right? I don’t see how the hard coconut cream would whip up.
I 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. 🙂
