- Make ahead. Make this recipe 1-2 days ahead. Cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
- Wash and cut your fruit no more than a few hours before serving so it stays fresh.
- For plain vanilla fruit dip just omit the chocolate chips in the recipe.
- Refrigerate the dip at least 1 hour before serving.
