LEMON POPPYSEED DIP
Creamy and zesty with fresh lemon zest and juice, Lemon Poppyseed Dip is the perfect foil for gourmet cookies and fresh fruits.
So simple with a base of cream cheese, sweetened with light brown sugar and plenty of lemony flavor!
I created Lemon Poppyseed Dip to be an essential part of the Dessert Buffet for my Pamper Me Pretty Party. It’s the Ultimate Spa Day for you and your pals, from invitations all the way to the take-home goodie bags!
Come see the fabulously relaxing and delicious day a Pamper Me Pretty Party is! Let’s check out the Luncheon Buffet menu, party printables, in-party activities, and much, much more!
