Pineapple Boat with Fluffy Fruit Dip image

At the root of this appetizer is a boatload of sweet, citrusy flavor. Children find the carved pineapple appealing and will be eager to dig into the delicious dip inside with fresh-cut chunks of summer fruit. Adults also find the fruit dip delightful. I often treat myself to a batch when melons are in season. -Katie Adams, Red Oak, Texas
