How to Soften Cream Cheese – 3 methods

It is very important to make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature when making the dip. If you use it straight from the refrigerator, no matter how long it is beaten there will still be little lumps. No one wants lumps in their fruit dip! There are a few methods I like to use for bringing cream cheese to room temperature depending on how much time I have.

Make Ahead of Time

In order to get the best flavor from this fruit dip, give it some time in the refrigerator. The addition of the orange juice concentrate is what makes this dip so good. A minimum of one hour will give the citrus flavors a chance to permeate through the dip. Making the dip a few hours, or even a day, ahead will give it even more flavor. The dip is great to make ahead of time, but the fruit tray itself is best made the day you are serving. Wash, peel, cut and prepare the fresh fruit the day you are serving it.
