Kelly’s Tutti Fruity Dip

Appetizers

September 25, 2022

Tutti frutti is an Italian phrase meaning “all fruits,” and this dip recipe certainly works with any and all fruits. My friend Kelly Garr serves the dip inside the hollowed-out lower half of a pineapple to add a little tropical flair. This recipe fits Kelly’s personality — bright, beautiful, and consistently fun!

1 (10-ounce) jar lemon curd
⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup half-and-half
Lemon zest, for garnish
1 fresh pineapple, cut into bite-size pieces, for serving
2 pints strawberries, washed and stemmed, for serving
3 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced, for serving

In a medium bowl, using a wire whisk, blend the lemon curd with the sweetened condensed milk and half-and-half until smooth. Transfer the mixture into a serving dish (or into the bottom of the pineapple as noted above) and garnish with the lemon zest. Arrange the fruit on a pretty platter and serve.
