Creamy Fruit Dip - Kid's Recipe

1 C. peeled sliced peaches, strawberries, mandarin oranges, and/or cubed fresh pineapple
1 8-oz. carton sour cream
1 8-oz. package Neufchatel cheese (cream cheese)
1/2 t. finely grated orange peel
1 t. vanilla
milk, if needed

Place the fruit in a blender or food processor.  Cover the blender or food processor with a lid and blend or process until smooth.  Turn off the blender or food processor.  Add sour cream, cream cheese, orange peel, and vanilla.  Cover the blender or food processor with lid and blend or process until smooth.

Pour mixture into a serving bowl using a rubber spatula to get all the dip out of the blender or food processor.  Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours.  If it is too thick after chilling, stir in milk, 1 T. at a time, to reach desired consistency.  Makes about 2 1/3 cups.

This is a great recipe to let the kids help with, since you only have to help them with the blender.  Use as a dip for animal crackers, apple wedges, pear wedges, graham cracker sticks, etc.
