Help my fruit dip looks like bad milk and I don't know why?

Question

My fruit dip is cream cheese, powdered sugar, and cool whip and I used my mixer and now it looks like curdled milk with cream cheese chunks. I put the mixer on the highest speed and still ... Do I need to let the cream cheese get warm>? Anyway to save it? Thanks

Answer 1

This happens to me when I use fat free cream cheese - is that what you used? If so, I don't know of any way to fix other than redoing it with reduced-fat or "full-fat" cream cheese. It's hard when making it with powdered sugar - here's another recipe:

1 pkg cream cheese, softened - any flavor
1 jar of marshmellow puff
mix together with electric mixer

Answer 2

It may be that your cream chees was too cold to mix well. Try letting it set a bit and then mix again. Or maybe the powdered sugar had lumps.
This is what we use to put with our fruit trays at our deli:
Mix 1 package cream cheese with 1 jar marshmallow cream. When mixed well blend in 1 thawed package cool whip.

Answer 3

Toss it out. Buy creamy yogurt in either lemon, lime or orange flavors and use it straight......makes an awesome dip for finger fruits

Answer 4

Maybe you can push it through a wire-mesh colander... with a rubber spatula.
