Wonderful! Make day ahead so flavours can marry. I surrounded dip with halved strawberries (including stems), kiwi slices, mango spears, pineapple spears, banana spears, pretzels & cubed angel food cake. I used light sour cream & light cream cheese, which didn't compromise the taste. Couldn't find raspberry extract at any specialty store so I subbed with berry cream cheese & added a little red food colour, to make more pink. Served this at my 1st. grandchild's baby shower & there was none left. There's no better fruit dip! Thanks Heather.

Excellent dip for fruit. Loved it! Just a tip - I didn't have the extract either but used raspberry jello (dry) instead. Don't remember how much - just a few tablespoons. Tasted terrific and super easy!

Very good BUT - it does need more raspberry extract than the amount given. I used real cream cheese (I appreciate the fat)

I'd give it more stars if I could...it's that good. If you don't make this for any occaision...you're REALLY missing out. It isn't only how good it tastes, it's the ease of making it...almost no effort.

I changed this up for what I was wanting (a strawberry-based pretzel dip), and it turned out outstanding! I used a cup of low-fat sour cream, a block of low-fat cream cheese, 1/2 cup white sugar, no extract, and about a cup of diced strawberries. I mixed the strawberries with the sugar and let it sit for about five minutes to get juicy before adding the other ingredients. I mixed it well with a hand mixer and then let it chill for a couple hours before serving with pretzels. So good! I could eat it with a spoon! Thanks for sharing! :)

This was fabulous! I made it for a BBQ and just served it with strawberries and there was nothing left over! I used raspberry extract, but added about 1/2 tsp more because I wanted a stronger taste. It mixed up plain white, so I did add about 2 drops of food coloring, but next time would just use 1 drop. Will definitely make this again!

Yummy! I brought this to a baby shower, an every raved about it! I wasn't able to find raspberry extract, but I did find strawberry. I know it would have been just as great with either one!

Delish... the only thing it needed was a little more color so we added a couple drops of red food coloring to get the pink we wanted. Everyone loved it.. no leftovers here!
