Key Ingredients Cream Cheese and Cream: I love the combination of cream cheese and heavy cream. I use the same base for the frosting of my favorite carrot cake. It’s so simple, yet so good! Orange: Fresh orange is best since it allows you to use some of the zest, which adds an extra pop of orange flavor. Vanilla: Use your favorite vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, which would be amazing. Powdered Sugar: I use 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, which makes this fruit dip slightly sweet but not overly so. You can reduce or increase based on your tastes. Cream Cheese and Cream: I love the combination of cream cheese and heavy cream. I use the same base for the frosting of my favorite carrot cake.
