Ingredients

Contains: milk, tree nuts (auto-detected from the ingredients and method; we can miss things, so check labels)

Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Rinse the raspberries and strawberries gently under cold water and pat them dry, leaving the strawberries whole with their green caps on.

  2. Put the raspberries, cottage cheese, ricotta, evaporated milk and almond extract in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute.

  3. Scrape the raspberry dip into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours so it firms up and the flavors blend.

  4. Arrange the strawberries on a platter just before serving and set the chilled raspberry dip in a bowl beside them for dipping by the green caps.
