While hosting our On the Farm Playdate we made the kids a special sweet treat! This creamy and fluffy dessert dip quickly became a “fan” favorite among the kids. Whether you like salty and sweet or sweet on sweet you can’t get enough. The cream cheese gives the dip and added thickness and almost tastes like cheesecake. Try making it with just Cool Whip and you will get an extra light and fluffy texture. Sliced apples and pretzels pair perfectly.
