Coconut Cream Fruit Dip

I found this recipe on the "Dessert Now, Dinner Later" blog here.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
• One 15 ounce can of Cream of Coconut (this is in the drink mixers aisle--this is not coconut milk)
• 1 cup of whipping cream & 1/4 cup powdered sugar & vanilla to taste, whipped to stiff peaks (Or, to simplify, use 8 oz of Cool Whip, thawed)

Instructions:

1. Whip softened cream cheese until there are no lumps.
2. Whip in the whole can of cream of coconut until thoroughly blended.
3. Fold in the whipped cream (or cool whip) just until evenly mixed.
4. Serve with fruit, cookies, etc.  Refrigerate the leftovers.

This makes a LARGE bowl of this yummy dip!!  (You can half it, if you have something to do with the rest of that can of cream of coconut!)
