Coconut Fruit Dip

After a wonderful and lovely Christmas break we are back to offer a delicious treat just in time for all the New Year's Eve parties. This comes from the kitchen on Momma Wasden. She started making this a few years back and it quickly became a staple for our get-togethers. It is quick and easy and people will beg you for the recipe.

You will need:
1 stick butter (Once again, I highly recommend using real butter. I know, I am starting to sound like Paula Deen here but it is the holidays. Enjoy it while it lasts!)
1 C sugar
1 C heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1-2 tsp coconut extract (found in the baking aisle by the vanilla and other extracts)

Melt butter in pan. Add 1 cup sugar and stir. Mix for about 2 minutes on medium heat. Remove from heat and add cream, vanilla, coconut extract. Mix well. Put in a blender and blend well. ( I use an immersion blender and mix in pan I am using. Either way works great.)

It will be thin. If you want to serve it right away you can serve it as a fruit drizzle. Place out a plate of fruit. Instruct your guest to drizzle over their fruit plate. You can also place it in the fridge to thicken and serve more as a dip.

We hope you have a wonderful New Years. We are thrilled to start a new year. We have some great recipes we are excited to share.
