Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup eggnog
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup red grapes
- 1 cup green grapes
- 2 pcs kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 0.25 cup pomegranate arils (optional)
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until well combined.
Add the eggnog, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg, then mix again until the dip is smooth and fluffy.
Transfer the eggnog dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the dip is chilling, prepare the fresh fruit for the wreath. Arrange the strawberry halves, grapes, kiwi slices, blueberries, and pomegranate arils (if using) in a circular pattern on a large serving platter to resemble a wreath.
Garnish the fruit wreath with fresh mint leaves for a festive touch.
Place the bowl of eggnog cream cheese dip in the center of the fruit wreath.
Serve immediately and enjoy! This dish can also be prepared a few hours in advance; keep the dip and fruits refrigerated until ready to serve.
