How to Make Marshmallow Fruit Dip
Like I mentioned before, this recipe only contains 5 ingredients:
- Cream cheese
- Marshmallow Fluff
- Cool Whip or whipped cream
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla
I know the initial thought of marshmallow and fruit paired together sounds kind of strange, but I can assure you, the marshmallow fluff is key to this dip. The marshmallow fluff and the whipped cream give the dip a really light texture, while the cream cheese gives it an irresistible creamy consistency.
You can definitely opt to use “light” versions of the cream cheese and cool whip, and the dip will still turn out just as creamy and delicious. I typically use light cool whip.
To make the recipe, you’ll just combine all the ingredients using a hand mixer and then folding in the whipped cream. We suggest making sure the cream cheese is softened to help eliminate some of the clumps when mixing.
tips for serving
Which Fruits to serve with cream cheese fruit dip? You really can’t go wrong serving every fruit with this dip recipe. Our favorites include:
- strawberries
- blackberries
- pineapples
- grapes
- apples
It’s not just for fruit though! The dip works great for other treats too. Try dipping Nilla wafers, cinnamon chips, graham crackers, or Oreos. Get creative!
How can I keep my fruit from turning brown? You’re in luck! Here are a few little tricks to keep that fruit looking fresh while it’s sitting on a platter at your party.
- Dip your cut fruit in lemon juice. Simply squeeze a lemon over the cut fruit and gently toss.
- Quickly dip the fruit in ginger ale.
- Use a commercial product such as Fruit-Fresh.
- Use a sharp paring knife. The sharper the blade the less “damage” the fruit takes.
How long does Cream Cheese fruit dip last in the fridge? How to store?
We recommend storing this fruit dip in an air-tight container in the fridge. When stored properly, this dip should last up to 5-6 days in the fridge. Unfortunately, it never lasts that long at our house and we have a feeling it will be the same at yours. 😉
Whether you’re hosting a baby shower or BBQ, or even just having a date night in – I promise this fruit dip recipe will not disappoint!
