Fall is officially here but Charlotte apparently didn’t get the memo because it was 90 degrees outside yesterday. NINETY DEGREES. I started sweating when I walked Chase into preschool. I started sweating when I let Sadie out in the morning. I started sweating when I went outside to check the mail at the end of the day. My former Florida-self is ashamed at my body’s lack of tolerance for the high temperatures but it’s FALL and I’m ready for sweaters, booties and, at the risk of sounding so horribly predictable and basic, pumpkin spice lattes.
I gave myself a pep-talk yesterday and am trying to embrace a longer summer (it’s kind of working – I do love the extra lake time!) and that means taking advantage of the summer produce that is plentiful and frequently on sale right now at our local farmer’s markets and grocery stores. As someone who cringes at the price of fresh berries all winter long, I’m loving the BOGO deals and discounts on everything from strawberries and blueberries to sweet and juicy blackberries right now. And what better way to enjoy these beautifully nutritious berries than with a cold and creamy fruit dip?
I hosted a couple of girlfriends at my house for a play date on Monday afternoon this week and served this dip with fresh berries and it was a hit with both the moms and the toddlers!
The dip is incredibly easy to make – only two ingredients – and it’s dairy-free but still 100 percent deliciously creamy thanks to whipped coconut cream and Kite Hill Wild Berry Artisan Almond Milk Yogurt Tubes.
The plant-based yogurt is soy- and dairy-free and made with almond milk. (It’s also free of any artificial flavors and preservatives!) To make the dip, I simply folded the wild berry yogurt into a fluffy batch of coconut cream and the end result was a velvety, slightly-sweet fruit dip that tasted amazing with fresh fruit, salty pretzels and graham crackers.

Description
This two-ingredient dairy-free berry fruit dip is deliciously creamy and incredibly easy to make thanks to a combination of whipped homemade coconut cream and almond milk yogurt.
Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 Kite Hill Wild Berry Yogurt Tube
Instructions
- Chill your can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. Do not shake the can, as you want separation of the coconut cream and liquid in the can to occur.
- Once your coconut milk is completely chilled, remove the can from the fridge, taking care not to tip it over, and open it. Using a spoon, scrape the thickened coconut cream off the top and place into a large mixing bowl.
- Beat the coconut cream with a mixer until it is light and fluffy. Gently fold in Kite Hill Mixed Berry Yogurt Tube.
- Serve with fresh fruit and enjoy!
This two-ingredient dairy-free berry fruit dip provides a great recipe base to play around with, so feel free to fold in shredded coconut or smashed fresh berries if you’re feeling fancy and want a little change in the traditionally thick and creamy texture. It’s also incredibly easy to double or even triple for a larger group! I really hope you guys enjoy this dip!!

I definitely have mixed feelings about the warm temps, I’m excited for Fall but know it’s only a matter of time that I’ll be freezing and not want to step outside. And this dip sounds so good. I’ve heard great things about Kite Hill but haven’t tried it yet.
Julie says
Same! Also, if you see their almond milk cheeses, they’re definitely worth trying. So good!!

New Jersey is getting a cold wave (not sure if that’s the right term ha) and I can’t wait. I’m with you on loving the extra summer time but since it’s almost October, I’d like to break out sweaters and booties.
This looks so good and I want to try it out soon! Plus it seems simple and easy which is a bonus!

We FINALLY switched over to fall temps (low 60s) but I was getting so antsy! Being in Minneapolis, fall is definitely our best season so we always want it to last as long as possible!
This fruit dip sounds so good and I love that it’s only 2 ingredients!

I dont think I’ve ever made a dip for my fruit! Except a chocolate one, but love this idea for sharing plates!
Erika says
Even in New York, it has hit 90 but thankfully the forecast for the next few days is cooler. Kite Hill is one of my favorite yogurts therefore I cannot wait to try this! Thanks for the yummy, simplistic recipe 🙂

Kaitlyn @ Powered by Sass says
Okay, I’ve got to try this whipped coconut milk/cream business. Another blogger I follow made her own yogurt with a can of coconut cream, and it looked delicious and sounded like an amazing alternative for this mostly dairy-free girl!
Liz says
Sounds delicious! This may be a dumb question, but do you do anything with the other half of the coconut milk you don’t use?
Julie says
Yes!! It’s great in smoothies!
LeeAnn says
That looks delicious!
Enjoy the warmth 🙂 It was already snowed at my house. Ha! I would take some lake time 😉
Julia says
Where did you find the kite hill yogurt tubes?!?
Michelle Ferrucci says
Thank you for this! Sounds delicious!! LOVE Kite Hill…when I need a cream chees fix their cream cheese is the best (for dairy-free selections! I haven’t tried their cheese yet…any local store who carry their cheeses?! Also, where did u find the individual Kite Hill yougurt pouches?! Hope to see you soon…I tried hard to get Marissa in on Monday/Wednesday with Chase and Claire at preschool but it stayed full…so she is still Tuesday/Thursday!
Anne says
So, dumb question. My husband is severely lactose intolerant – but both of us really detest the taste of coconut. I’ve never been able to figure out – does coconut cream / milk TASTE like coconut? Help? Thanks!
Sera says
