STRAWBERRY FRUIT DIP AND CREPES FILLING



Strawberry Fruit Dip and Crepes Filling image

You can dip fruit in this (bananas, apples, etc) cookies, cake, crepes, ice cream... oh, gosh, anything that goes with strawberries! My favorite way to eat this is to tear off pieces of a desert crepe and scoop up about a teaspoon at a time.
