Brown Sugar Fruit Dip

I recently had a delicious fruit dip at a breakfast buffet at a local hotel and, on my quest to locate a similar recipe, I found this one from 'Southern Living'. The one I had did not have the liqueur, which is optional in this recipe. Prep time does not include chilling.

• 1  cup  frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

1. Beat brown sugar and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
2. Add sour cream, vanilla, and, if desired, coffee liqueur, beating until blended and smooth; fold in whipped topping.
3. Cover and chill 4 hours.
4. Garnish, if desired.
