Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 package phyllo cups
- Fresh fruit for serving (e.g., strawberries, apple slices)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a package of phyllo cups, and fresh fruit for serving such as strawberries and apple slices.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the honey and vanilla extract to the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture. Continue to mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the dip is creamy and smooth.
- Once the dip is ready, take the package of phyllo cups and carefully remove them from the packaging. Place them on a serving platter or a large plate.
- Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each phyllo cup with the peanut butter fruit dip. Be generous, but make sure not to overfill them to prevent spillage.
- Wash and prepare your fresh fruit. If using strawberries, hull and slice them; for apple slices, core and slice the apples into thin wedges.
- Arrange the fresh fruit around the filled phyllo cups on the serving platter, creating an inviting presentation.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the fruit alongside the creamy peanut butter dip. If not serving right away, store the dip in the refrigerator until ready to serve, but fill the phyllo cups just before serving for the best texture.
Tips
- Choose the Right Fruit: While strawberries and apple slices are fantastic, feel free to experiment with other fruits like banana slices, blueberries, or even kiwi for a colorful presentation.
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the peanut butter dip a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just fill the phyllo cups right before serving to maintain their crispiness.
- Add a Twist: For an extra flavor kick, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of cocoa powder to the peanut butter mixture. It can give your dip a unique twist that guests will love!
- Presentation Matters: Arrange the filled phyllo cups on a decorative platter, and add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a drizzle of chocolate sauce over the fruit for an eye-catching finish.
- Keep It Cool: If you're serving these at a party, keep the dip chilled until it's time to fill the cups. This will ensure the dip stays creamy and delicious.
- Perfect for Any Occasion: These phyllo cups are not just for parties! They make a great after-school snack, a fun addition to brunch, or even a healthy dessert option for family gatherings.
