This cashew-based raw fruit dip has a similar texture to cream cheese icing, which I used to love... Creamy and almost tangy, mmm! A perfect raw fruit dip for sliced bananas, strawberries, fresh pineapple and more.

Recipe Directions
- 1. Blend all ingredients together in your high speed blender until very smooth and creamy.

- 3. Enjoy!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian This raw fruit dip is total comfort food for me. It's the same texture as cream cheese icing, which I used to love... Creamy and almost tangy, mmm!
Try this raw food fruit dip as a dessert. Serve this dip in a bowl with sliced fruit, such as apples, grapes, orange sections, pineapple, etc. Perfect dessert for SAD people and raw fooders alike.
This raw fruit dip also doubles as a very nice icing for raw cakes.
This fruit dip tastes best if kept chilled in the fridge.
Serve this raw fruit dip for dessert tonight! Goes so well with bananas, pineapple and strawberries! Mmm.

I just started raw two weeks ago and am looking for fast and tasty recipes. Next week, we are having our quarterly meeting where I volunteer and it is a tea. I have been wondering what I will take and be able to eat that would be appetizing to others. Found this fruit dip!
How much does this recipe make? Should I double it for the gathering?

Hi Lori, Depends on how many people will be there. But I think this single recipe would do if you are proving for 10-15 people with lots of fresh fruit (chopped) to dip in. Plus, if they happen to run out of dip they can eat fruit on its own.

Hi Toni, I am very interested to see your Christmas Hats! I tried to click on the link, but I think because we are not "Facebook Friends" I am not able to see. Hope your potluck is a success!

All of your recipes are so easy to follow! Just put a batch in the fridge to eat later with blackberries!

I don't have any coconut oil, is there a substitution that would work and still be healthy?
Thank you to any suggestions :)

Hi Sarah, No, sorry, there is no substitute for coconut oil in this recipe. (Other oils will not work at all. Coconut oil hardens when frozen and doesn't have a yucky oily taste)

This fruit dip looks delicious!
I was just wondering if the cashews are raw and soaked before blending?
The Rawtarian
Oct 12, 2012
Cashews are untoasted/unsalted. If you have a really good blender (BlendTec, Vitamix etc) you do not need to soak. If your blender is crappy you might want to soak to soften the cashews

Thanks for the reply. I tried it and it was really really good. Will make this often.
I'm so happy I found this website!

I'm amazed. I would never have thought cashews would make icing, but I made raw banana bread, and spread this on, and it's wonderful. My kids love it.

Anything that the kids love is a success to me!

using the coconut oil it should be the Refinded yes? As if Not refined it tastes like coconut and one doesn't want everything tasting like coconut no matter how good it taste!:) just wanna clarify this before I start! Can't wait looks YumYumYummie! Mahalo

It depends on preference, but my coldpressed extra virgin coconut oil is unrefined and does taste like coconut

This recipe is truly fabulous and is always a hit with my non-vegan friends. I like to add a hefty amount of dried unsweetened coconut for an added dimension of taste and texture!

Interesting idea about the coconut! I think I like it smooth myself, but I like the idea. Adding small chunks to something smooth is usually a nice idea - I love doing that with my raw soups

This was absolutely heavenly. I don´t have a high speed blender, but I blended this first in a regular blender and then finished the texture with this hand held blender kind of thingy, don´t know what it is in english :) it came out great. I´m dreaming about a high speed blender though... it would be handy in so many recipes

Glad you were able to make with the equipment that you have :)

wow, this stuff is amazing. I couldn't believe how good it tasted, kinda tasted like cake batter a little bit. This is the kind of stuff that will keep me eating raw, I'm not a big fan of apples and used it to spread on apple slices this evening as a snack, I loved it! Great recipe!

yours looks light and fluffy. i did mine in the food processor rather than the blender.... maybe thats why the texture looks different?
The Rawtarian
Feb 18, 2012
Definitely, for best results you want to use a high-speed blender.
Food processor is for dryier stuff (like cakes) and blender if for wetter stuff like icing, dips, smoothies, puddings etc

I have a question. I heard that mixing fruits with fats was a no no. Is that necessarily true? or a myth?
