THE RECIPE

Fresh Fruit with Sour Cream Dipping Sauce and Pistachios

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the sour cream, date molasses, and vanilla in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the pistachios and coconut.
  2. Arrange the fruit on a serving plate with the sauce and pistachio-coconut mixture alongside. Dip each piece of fruit halfway in the sour cream, then roll it in the pistachios and coconut. Use a fork or skewer for hard-to-hold fruit such as bananas, mangoes, or peaches.

Tips and Storage

  • Choose a mix of firm, ripe fruit that is easy to dip.
  • Date molasses gives mellow caramel flavor; pure maple syrup is a good substitute.
  • Keep the dip and pistachio mixture separate until serving so the coating stays crisp.
  • Refrigerate the dip for up to 2 days and cut bananas just before serving.
