Perfect! I made sure to blend the cream cheese first until it was light and fluffy, then slowly added the milk and made sure there were no lumps. Added the rest of the ingredients, and added a tsp of vanilla for additional kick. Served with fruit kabobs. Had to make 12 copies of the recipe for everyone at the office. Warning: you will want to eat this by the spoonful!

This dip is great. We've made it many times and it goes everytime. I even put it on my bagel instead of cream cheese. Thanks for the great recipe!

Great party food! This is my favorite fruit dip - so much better then the marshmallow fluff type. Someone ALWAYS wants the recipe. I use ff pudding/light cool whip/light cream cheese and 1% milk. Great with fruit skewers of strawberries, canteloupe, pineapple. Also great with apples.

I made this for my Bunco Club last night and no one said a thing about liking it. There was a lot left over. I'd probably stick to my marshmallow fluff and cream cheese recipe.

I loved this dip! I did as previous reviewers suggested and only added 1/2 the sugar, added the 1/ tsp vanilla. I also used French vanilla pudding, 1% milk and FF cream cheese. It was good, but I still felt it was missing something so I added a dash of cinnamon. YUMMY. Everyone loved this dip!

This was my first time making this kind of fruit dip. I generally use a sour cream based dip. It was a huge hit at our church pot luck. I had a tray of strawberries and used chocolate pudding instead of vanilla it was yummy. Thank you for sharing this one with us.

Great Recipe! I used sugar-free pudding & fat free cream cheese & cut the sugar back to 1/2cup. I also added a sprinkle of ginger,cinnamon, vanilla & nutmeg for a little more flavor.

I was nervous when I saw how much this made but it went so fast it's a good thing that there was so much! It was great on fruit and the cookies we had at the party. A nice change from the marshmallow recipes.

I've made this a ton of times and it always goes so fast. Everyone loves it and says they can eat it without any fruit! This is so much better than the dips with marshmallow fluff! Followed other's suggestions and beat cream cheese and milk first. Awesome dip!

This is so tasty. It makes a huge amount but I plan to explore how it tastes on things other than fruit... maybe as a cake icing or filling. It is sweet but not overpowering.

Oh My was this soo good. I made it Thanksgiving with a huge fruit platter.The Watermelon and cantalope were wonderful. I also put some clemantine tangerines on the platter. It reminded me of orange creamsicles. I beat the cream cheese with the milk first--no lumps. I also used 1/2 C. of the powdered sugar. It was wonderful, we ate i the next morning with breakfast.

This was pleasant but one has to lower the sugar content as it is very sweet. I was thinking that I may try another pudding mix next time perhaps banana!

I was very excited to try this recipe but had a few problems with it. Even after mixing it in my KitchenAid mixer, there were tiny cream cheese lumps throughout that I had a hard time getting rid of. I also thought the dip had a bit of an artifical taste - not sure if that was from the pudding or the whipped topping; I added a dash of vanilla and thought that helped. My husband on the other hand loved it and was eating it out of a bowl with a spoon - no fruit. He would give the recipe at least four stars. I think kids would really love this recipe - good way to get them to eat their fruit.

I read some of the other reviews, and decided to use only 1/2 the sugar. I also added about 2 teaspoons of maraschino cherry juice to try to add some color to the dip. It turned out fantastic! There are only a few comments I would like to add: First, this makes a ton of dip. I made this recipe in a 2.5 quart mixing bowl and it was nearly filled to the top with the dip. Second, the color without the maraschino cherry juice is sort of a cream color. The small amount of juice I added did very little to change the color, although it did impart some extra flavor. Third, the dip does not have a very creamy consistency unless you leave it sit out for awhile before serving (say 30 minutes). I made this the night before the party, and because of the Cool Whip in it, it stiffened up overnight in the fridge. So just keep in mind that if you make the dip ahead of time and refrigerate it, you will probably want to sit it out a bit before you want to serve it. Overall, this was an excellent recipe, and I received several good comments on it from my friends. I will make it again.
