This is my favorite fruit dip recipe & I love the flavor the coconut milk adds. It gives it a slight tropical taste and really enhances all fruits. I personally am a huge coconut fan, but this dip does not have an overwhelming coconut flavor -it's a wonderful touch. It took me a while to find a recipe that used coconut milk & your's was perfect. I made it for a girl baby shower & the pink tint the cherry juice adds was perfect. I actually thought I remembered the recipe & ended up adding a tub of cool whip (small tub) along with all the other ingredients. It neither added or took away from the dish, but ended up making a gigantic amount -which allowed us all to take home leftovers -a blessing in disguise. Just chop up an apple & you have a yummy desert. This is a definite keeper recipe & thank you so much for posting.

I was disappointed with this, but it may just be from unspecific directions. My grocery store did not have a brand called Coco Lopez, so I asked for the substitute. The guy told me it was coconut milk. Now that I've made the recipe I wonder if it should have been cream of coconut. My dip was too runny and did not taste like coconut.

Cream of coconut and coconut milk are defiantly not the same thing. Those who used coconut milk and didn't have much coconut flavor, this is why.

I love this but lightened it up a little by only using 2 oz cream cheese, half a can of Coco Lopez, and almsot a full container of Cool Whip free. Also added some orange and pineapple juice, and left out the powdered sugar. I guess I totally changed it, so I won't rate but we loved it.

Very good! I added crushed, drained pineapple, only 1/2 c 10X sugar and it tasted like a pina colada on my fruit salad! YUMMY!
