What You’ll Need

8 ounces cream cheese (halal-certified or with microbial rennet)
1/4 cup frozen limeade concentrate
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 cup cool whip topping (or halal alternative)

Let’s Cook

Beat cream cheese, limeade concentrate and orange juice in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
Gently stir in cool whip topping.
Cover.
Refrigerate at least one hour.
Serve with cut-up fresh fruit.
To grill fruit:
Peaches, nectarines and plums get a deep caramel-like flavor when cooked on the grill.
Here’s how to do it.
Put pieces of fresh fruit on skewers.
Use fruit that’s just starting to soften, so that it stays firmly on the skewers.
Sprinkle fruit with cinnamon or nutmeg.
Place fruit on the grill for a minute to sear.
Check the underside.
Once it’s golden with grill marks, turn it over to finish cooking.

Notes From My Kitchen

For best results, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
If using homemade halal whipped cream, add it just before serving for maximum fluffiness.
The dip tastes even better when made a day ahead – the flavors have more time to meld.
