I love dips.
Salsa and tortilla chips.
Hummus and… anything (mostly my fingers).
Garlicky Creamy Spinach Dip and bread.
Dips are awesome.
I rarely eat sweet dips. Not because I don’t like them, I just don’t think about them.
I discovered the joys of dipping fruit in a sweet dip this summer, when I made Angela’s Energize Me Creamy Fruit Dip. And then I made it again. And again.
When I saw Laury’s Vegan Apricot Ginger Spread, it looked so good I knew I had to make it. It had cream cheese and I love cream cheese. It had apricot and I love apricot. I had ginger and I love ginger.
Making this dip, I discovered my mini-prep plus doesn’t do everything and can’t grind a crystallized ginger cube. And so I decided to use something I love even more than ginger… cinnamon.

Or my favorite…
Ginger Snaps!
Or spread on a toast, a muffin, a sweet bread or a bagel.
Like I did for this morning’s breakfast…
So good! I am currently resisting eating a second bagel ;-).
I agree, dips are amazing! This looks great and would be amazing with fruit! I make something similar using yogurt, the cream cheese sounds rich and delicious!
This sounds fabulous!! I would gobble thise up with some fruit and graham crackers 🙂
I loveeeee cream cheese, this sounds awesome, can't wait to try. I love those ginger snaps too, I think I get them from Ikea…
