I made this and it was too sticky, imo. I hope I did not add too much fluff. I bought the smallest container. How many ounces of fluff should I have used.
I use the 7 ounce jar. We’ve made it several times and it never seemed sticky. Curious, if you used the generic brand and wondering if that made a difference…
Your Cheesecake Fruit Dip sounds simple and delicious! Thanks for the recipe!! Cheers =)
Let me know if you ever try it out – it’s a favorite for sure. 🙂
Hello, I have a question. You say 1 container marshmallow fluff and 1 tub cool whip. Well what size container and tub? They both come in many different size ounces, so I’m not sure what size to get for each!
I edited the recipe… both are the small containers. 🙂
Thank you! I made this on Thanksgiving and it tastes amazing! I will definitely be making this again.
Rachel, I do believe she meant 7 oz. of Marshmallow CREME and an 8 oz. tub of Cool Whip 🙂
When you say “bar of cream cheese” how much is that??
It is 8 oz. It is sold in a bar form at the store. Hope that helps.
Perfect…can’t wait to try it.
I think you’ll love it! Let me know how it tastes. 🙂
Mmmmmm….this sounds like a great dip for a party!
That’s exactly what I made it for, and it was SO good. Hope you like it too.
You had me at cheesecake!! Delicious!! Pinned it! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
You will LOVE it Crystal – it is seriously SO good!
Can you freeze this dip? also what is size of small tub? my store sells1Litre or 2 litre so that is 4cups or 8cups, but I think there is one smaller yet?
The tub is 7 ounces. Unfortunately, I have never tried freezing it before. :/
I have made this dip for years except my recipe doesn’t include the sugar. It is still sweet,creamy and fluffy. A family fave for sure!
I’m sure it’s just without the sugar as well. It’s definitely a new family favorite.
Thanks for posting this. It brought back some great memories.
My Mama used to make a similar, but easier recipe for fruit dip when I was growing up. She just mixed 8 oz cream cheese with a jar of marshmallow creme and 1 tsp vanilla butter & nut flavoring. She always served it dolloped on canned pears with a maraschino cherry on top. We always felt like it was such a fancy dessert back then.
Oooh, nut flavoring would be great in this recipe. Thanks for the tip, and thank you for stopping by. Have a great day. 🙂
Wow, this looks ahhmazing! Lorin is one lucky guy to be able to taste all of these fun things you make! I’m loving all of the recipes you’re posting, Kristyn. Thanks! And, btw, your pictures are incredible. Seriously, whenever I take a picture of food it looks like crap. You’re skilled!
Thank you so much, Laura! Poor Lorin liked all the food at first but he doesn’t have KC to play racquetball with to burn off all those extra calories! 😉
