Last year as I was preparing for our summer luau, I found this recipe and decided to give it a try.
Holy. Moly.
This year, when I was talking to a friend of mine about what I was planning on doing for the party, she said, “So, that’s great and all… but are you making The Dip?” You can see, it’s become quite popular.
It’s beyond delicious, and the best part is that it’s one of the easiest things ever to make.
All you need:
8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
20 oz can crushed pineapple
2 1/2 cups flaked or shredded sweetened coconut
{It also helps if you have an assistant who tries to photo bomb every picture and continuously steals the mini graham crackers as you’re trying to document your creation.}
He’s lucky he’s cute.
Anyway.
Just throw your softened cream cheese and canned pineapple into a food processor and blend until smooth. {If you don’t have a food processor, you can just use a mixer — or, if you’re ready to work those guns, you can also just mix by hand.} You don’t need to drain the pineapple first.
Once that is nicely blended, toss in your coconut and blend until fully mixed.
That’s it. Told you it was easy.
I usually serve it with graham crackers, but it’s also delicious with Nilla wafers, fruit, and, if you’re a fan of salty-sweet combos, Fritos or potato chips.

This looks amazing and so easy! I love anything cream cheese and this just sounds like dessert only easier to make. It will be my next fruit dip. Thank you for sharing “The Dip” recipe!;-) Have a great day! Love, Wanda
This is so delicious and your pictures are so pretty! Perfect dip for summer time and for parties! I can picture my little one dipping strawberries in it! I’m pinning to my Party Grubs board! Came to visit you via the Taylor House Pinning Party
I wouldn’t have ever thought to use these ingredients in a dip. Thank you for sharing!

Hi, I’m from Northern Vieginia and would like to please kow if where can I
get a Red MX175 size 40?
I made the dip according to the directions and it came out like liquid…I could drink it! What did I do wrong? I used crushed pineapple and did not drain it.
Oh no!! I don’t know why that would have happened, that’s never happened to me. Maybe your pineapple was extra liquidy?? So sorry that happened! 🙁
It tastes great and thickened a bit in the fridge…I’m still going to use it!
Oh, good, I’m so glad!! Hope you have a fabulous Easter!!
