Well I officially found my new go-to party/potluck/picnic recipe – 2-Ingredient Lemon Whip Fruit Dip! Could this stuff BE any springier? (Said in my best Chanandler Bong voice, of course.)
Speaking of, it’s weird watching reruns of Friends and realizing the characters near the end of the series are the same age I am now. I remember watching that show in high school and thinking they were all so…OLD. Excuse me while I curl up in the corner with a big bowl of whippy lemon fruit dip and eat my feelings.
Ok I’m back.
You guys, I am so pumped to share this sweet/tart/totally addicting fruit dip recipe with you today. I almost just posted it on Instagram, because it’s laughably easy and I didn’t want to wait a second longer than I had to to share it, but the recipe deserved to be saved for the blog. Look up “must-try” in the dictionary (if “must-try” was in the dictionary) and a photo of Lemon Whip Fruit Dip would be next to it (if the dictionary had photos.)
I digress.
If you like lemon, if you like cheesecake, if you like fruit dip – if you like any of the three – you’ve got to make this dip. Fruit on it’s own is nature’s candy, but when dunked into this mousse-like dip, it’s next level. I’m taking a big bowl if it to my parent’s house for Easter this year, as we always have crudite or a fruit salad to nibble on before dinner, but it’d be great for countless other events. Baby and bridal showers, book clubs, office potlucks, Mom’s groups, summer pool parties, making it through a Monday, heck just as a fun surprise for your kids! Lincoln went bonkers for this fruit dip!
So, channel your inner Monica Geller (ie, your inner chef,) and let’s whip this up!
Like I said, this recipe could not be easier. All you have to do is fold 1 cup lemon curd with 9oz SoDelicious CoCoWhip. That’s it! You can use store bought lemon curd or make your own. I made this lemon curd and it was ultra tart and tangy – super good. (FYI – I used vegan butter in place of regular butter in that recipe!) I recommend this lemon curd if you need a completely vegan option.
Even if you don’t need to eat dairy-free, I’m still recommending you use coconut whipped topping for this recipe. It gives the dip an extra oomph of yummy flavor and I really like the texture too. Very whippy and moussy – almost cheesecake like. The ingredient list in this particular brand is great too.
Scoop the dip into a bowl then serve with the fruit of your choice. This dip can be made two or even three days ahead of time and, speaking from experience, there isn’t a whole lot it doesn’t taste good on. Fruit of course, but also cookies, a spoon, your finger…you get the idea! Enjoy, enjoy!

2-Ingredient Lemon Whip Fruit Dip
Description
2-Ingredient Lemon Whip Fruit Dip is light and mousse-like in texture, and made with just 2 ingredients. This gluten-free, dairy-free dip is a must-try!
Ingredients
- 1 cup lemon curd (see notes)
- 9oz dairy-free SoDelicious CoCoWhip (see notes)
- Assorted fruit
Directions
- Fold lemon curd and cocowhip together then refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be made 1 or 2 days ahead of time.
Notes
- You can use any lemon curd you like, but homemade tastes best! I like The Food Charlatan's recipe for The Best Lemon Curd.
- Even if you don't need to eat dairy-free, I still recommend using SoDelicious CocoWhip for this recipe - it is so good! Look for the product in the freezer section of your grocery store's health food market.

This looks and sounds great and I love that it is dairy-free!
This sounds yummy! If I use the homemade recipe you linked could I swap out the butter for earth balance to keep dairy free ?
Yep! That’s what I did!
Love how easy this is to make!! Such a great dip for game days!
This looks perfect for Easter potluck! My kid is gf and dairy free so coming up with something special for him that everyone would love to eat is indeed a GREAT thing! Thank you! And PS it’s Bing, not Bong….tee hee you gave me a good giggle this morning! :)
“Bong” is from one of my favorite trivia episodes when they had to say who his TV Guide (!!) subscription was addressed to! ?
Actually is *Miss* Chanandler Bong ? Love me some Friends!
Thanks, Kristen! Another winner & just in time. I was assigned fruit salad for a friend’s Easter Brunch and needed something to add a WOW factor and this is it. And love, love, love the Friends references. It’s amazing to me how that show has improved with age and some of the fashion is still on point. And a great reminder of the importance of community. Happy Easter!
Oooooh my goodness gracious! Lemon curd plus COCONUT whipped cream???? Be still my heart! I’m super excited that so delicious has a coconut whipped cream in stores so i don’t have to make my own now! That is truly awesome. Thanks so much for the shout out on my lemon curd!! <3
I love lemon. This sounds so yummy. Does the CoCoWhip have a coconut flavor at all? I do not like the flavor of coconut and have avoid all things that say coconut on the label. However I am finding that not all of them taste like coconut so would love the healthier alternative they offer. Thanks for all your great recipes.
If you are super sensitive to coconut then you might not like it, though I don’t find the flavor to be strong at all. If I didn’t know it was cocowhip I don’t know I could pick out the flavor!
Yum!! I need more lemon curd in my life. This looks amazing.
YUM! What a fresh spin on fruit dip. And I’ve never tried So Delicious’s whipped cream alternative, but I love their yogurts, so I know I’d be eating this by the spoonful too ;)
This looks amazing! So simple =)
Drooling! I love the sour and sweet taste of lemons. Now I can have it with coconut and fruit. Perfect!
Isn’t lemon curd made with eggs?
Yep! Eggs, sugar, lemons, and butter. I used vegan butter to keep this recipe dairy-free.
Eggs..dairy free??
Eggs are dairy free. (milk and milk products are the only dairy….from four legged animals) :) Many people confuse that.
love this!! i’ll have to pick up some lemon curd (not enough time to actually make it), but i’m definitely adding this to the Easter menu. looks delicious :D
I made this the other night, using store-bought lemon curd. So good! The Coco Whip did not have a computer taste, to someone wondering. Also, I recommend refrigerating for a short time after stirring in the lemon curd so the mousse-like texture returns. It still tastes great even if you just can’t wait!
Wohoo! So glad you made it, Kelly – thanks for leaving feedback!
Thanks for sharing! I made the curd you recommended (amazing and easy) and the complete fruit dip for our Easter family get-together and it was such a hit! Thanks again!
So glad, Lisa! Isn’t that curd the best?!
Wonderful recipe.I like this and I think this is very delicious. I am going to make this recipe for my family and husband Thanks for sharing
Oh, my goodness. I’ve been wanting to make lemon curd for a long time and I’m now I’m ready to do it. Also, I didn’t know that I could buy a soy-free coconut whipped topping, and I’m looking forward to trying it! Thanks, Kristin!

Since lemon curd has butter in it, this is not dairy free.
I use vegan butter (Earth Balance) to make it dairy free.
