An alternative dessert is fruit and dip.  Nice on a buffet with more calorie rich offerings.  This works with berries, stone fruit and even melons.  

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb cream cheese (1 c soft cream cheese works too)
• 2 c sour cream
• 1 c brown sugar
• dash of vanilla, almond extract, or rum extract

Directions:

1. Beat the cream cheese until soft.
2. Add sour cream
3. Add brown sugar
4. Add flavoring

Serves:  Makes 3 cups
