Lemon Fruit Dip is light and mousse-like in texture, and made with just 2 main ingredients. This gluten free, dairy free dip is a must-try!
I found my new go-to party/potluck/picnic recipe – Lemon 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 a corner with a big bowl of whippy lemon fruit dip and eat my feelings.
Lemon Fruit Dip
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!
So, channel your inner Monica Geller (ie, your inner chef,) and let’s whip this up!

How to Make this Recipe
Like I said, this recipe could not be easier. All you have to do is fold prepared lemon curd with SoDelicious CoCoWhip. That’s it!
My Homemade Lemon Curd recipe makes 2 cups lemon curd, so you can double the dip recipe, halve the lemon curd recipe, or just save the leftover cup of curd for 1,000 other uses (including eating it with a spoon).
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…you get the idea. Enjoy!

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
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.
Drooling! I love the sour and sweet taste of lemons. Now I can have it with coconut and fruit. Perfect!
This looks amazing! So simple =)
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 ;)
Yum!! I need more lemon curd in my life. This looks amazing.
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!
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
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!
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!
Love how easy this is to make!! Such a great dip for game days!
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!
This looks and sounds great and I love that it is dairy-free!
