In order to reduce food waste, you can use the leftover coconut water from the can to make smoothies, milkshakes, or other fun dairy free desserts.

What else can I serve this fruit dip on? 

Some of our favorite ways to serve this other than with fresh fruit is on some gluten free graham crackers, spread out on Fruit Pizza Cookies or on a S'mores Dessert Pizza.

You can drizzle some of this dip thinned out on some Cherry Pie Bars, over top a serving of Blueberry Crisp or used as frosting on Apple Pie Pops.

What can I serve fruit dip with?

Fruit dip goes great with fresh fruit and whatever else you're serving. It would be great with Apple and Walnut Pinwheels, French Dip Sandwiches, or along with some French Toast Sticks for breakfast.
