Mrs. Ruth’s Strawberry Lemonade Fruit Dip

Mrs. Ruth’s Strawberry Lemonade Jam folded into whipped cream cheese and sour cream makes a dip so good you’ll be eating it with a spoon. Bring it to your next gathering and prepare to share the recipe.

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: None | Total Time: 15 minutes | Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 package (4 oz) cream cheese, softened at room temperature
  • ¼ cup confectioners’ (powdered) sugar, or to taste
  • 5 oz Mrs. Ruth’s Strawberry Lemonade Jam
  • ¼ cup chopped pistachios
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh strawberries (optional)

To Serve

  • Fresh apple slices, pineapple chunks, or strawberries
  • Crackers or pretzels
  • Graham crackers or shortbread cookies

Directions

  1. Beat cream cheese and sour cream together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until completely smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add confectioners’ sugar and beat until incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  3. Fold in Mrs. Ruth’s Strawberry Lemonade Jam gently until swirled through — don’t fully mix for a beautiful marbled effect.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped pistachios and fresh strawberries.
  5. Serve immediately with fresh fruit, crackers, or pretzels.

Tips & Notes

  • Room temperature cream cheese: Cold cream cheese won’t whip smoothly — pull it out 30 minutes before you start.
  • Make it ahead: This dip holds beautifully in the fridge for up to 3 days. Give it a quick stir before serving and add fresh garnishes right before.
  • Marbled vs. fully mixed: Fold the jam in gently for a pretty pink swirl, or mix fully for an even blush-pink dip throughout.
  • Sweeten to taste: The jam adds sweetness — start with less powdered sugar and adjust after folding in the jam.
