This recipe for Piña Colada Dip is an old one that I’ve had…. we absolutely love fruit …. especially for breakfast…. there’s nothing better for a light breakfast than a plate of fruit and a delicious dip or sauce and a warm muffin….
TIPS
To toast coconut… preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the sweetened coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes…. watch closely because when the coconut starts to brown… it can burn easily.
You can eliminate the rum extract or rum if you prefer…
If you are using the rum extract.. start with ½ teaspoon and taste it before adding more…. the rum extract can have a strong flavor.
I used Yoplait Light Very Vanilla Yogurt… you can use any vanilla flavored yogurt you prefer…
Serve this dip with a variety of cut fruit…. pineapples, strawberries, bananas and kiwi fruit all go very well with this…. melons will too ….
You can serve this as pictured… with a separate plate for each person…. or serve on a platter with bite-sized fruit and toothpicks.
If serving as a breakfast….for the fruit, I used Del Monte Fruit Naturals Pineapple Chunks… found in the refrigerated part of the produce section at the grocery store… I used 1 single serving container …. 1 banana and a few strawberries cut-up … and I used the entire dip recipe for two people with a little leftover.
This dip recipe can be halved or doubled or made 1 ½ times the amounts listed… to accommodate the number of servings you need….
If serving this as a fruit tray for a party… I would make 1 ½ times the recipe for the dip.
This is absolutely delicious… whether you make it for a party or for breakfast… it’s delicious… and healthy too!

OK Linda, this one this week and credit due!
Love every part of this and everything is in my pantry right now (including veggies)
Another great recipe to try this week Linda!!
And BINGO!!!
I just made this. I used a Mango Rum that they have down here, and it is by far the best veggie dip I have ever had!
This is outstanding!
Wow... Mango rum.... I love to try different things... I wonder if I can find that here... I'd love to try it!
I love this dip.... I've made it for years... I got it from someone a long time ago when I had it at a party... darn if I can remember who gave it to me... that person needs a standing ovation...
This dip sounds delicious! You have no idea how much I love pina coladas...my favorite drink! but not exactly conducive to being a productive member of society. I wiill have to try this as a replacement!
Being a productive member of society is over-rated... for sure... I love pina coladas too!
