St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Fruit Tray With Fruit Dip

Every year on St. Patrick’s Day we try to make everything as green and rainbow as we can get!  We are not Irish, but the kids totally look forward  to our “green” day!  It is always fun when we have days, like St. Patrick’s Day, that can be something fun and different away from the norm.  At dinner time we always have a rainbow fruit tray with our meal.  I love having another choice, like this smoothie, that is not full of food coloring, but still festive!  This year I thought it would be fun to add a fruit dip to my fruit tray.  It made the clouds at the end, or start, of the rainbow!  

To make the fruit dip you will need cream cheese, marshmallow cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.  Add your cream cheese and marshmallow cream to the bowl of your mixer and with the whisk attachment mix it all up on medium speed.  

Stop the mixer and scrape the sides and mix more if needed.  Then add your powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix that up.  Stop and scrape the sides again and then transfer your dip into a storage container and refrigerate until your fruit is ready.

Next wash and prepare all your fruit and then it is time to assemble it into a rainbow!  

I thought it would be fun to add a little gold at the end of my rainbow.  I picked those up at Party City.

I hope this adds a little fun to your St. Patrick’s Day!  Your kids will love it and it is a good way to get them to eat their fruit!  

I love how pretty all this fruit looks!
