And we’re talking done in just 3-5 minutes or so – it’s that easy!
How to Make Fruit Dip
This Cream Cheese Dip for fruit only contains 5 ingredients and is so easy to make! First, gather these ingredients:
- cream cheese
- marshmallow fluff
- Cool Whip or Whipped Cream (about 3 cups)
- powdered sugar
- vanilla
COMBINE. In a medium bowl, beat powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla together with a hand mixer on low speed, until well mixed.
Fold in whipped topping and Marshmallow Fluff.
CHILL + SERVE! Chill until ready to serve. Serve with fruit or Pound Cake for dipping.
Serving Tips
Serving suggestions. You really can’t go wrong serving every fresh fruit with this Cream Cheese Dip recipe. Our favorites include strawberries, blackberries, pineapples, grapes, apples, raspberries, cherries, peaches, and bananas.
Additional dippables. Marshmallow Cream Cheese Dip works great for other treats too like vanilla wafers, Cinnamon Chips, graham crackers, or Oreos. Get creative!
Lighten it up. Use “light” versions of the cream cheese and cool whip. The dip will still turn out just as creamy and delicious. I typically use light cool whip.
Prevent fruit from turning brown. Here are a few tricks to keep that fruit looking fresh while it’s sitting on a platter at your party.
- Dip 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.
Storing info
STORE. We recommend storing this Fruit Dip Recipe in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5-6 days. Unfortunately, it never lasts that long at our house and we have a feeling it will be the same at yours. 😉
Whether hosting a baby shower, a BBQ or even just having a date night in – I promise this F Dip will not disappoint!
Recipe FAQ
You can use reduced fat cream cheese and “light” cool whip to cut down on the calories in this fruit dip. In fact, I usually use the light cool whip.
Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing all the ingredients together. If it’s not fully softened, it can cause lumps in the dip.
I prefer fruits that don’t brown (like apples and bananas do). My top favorites to serve with fruit dip are strawberries, blackberries, grapes, pineapple, and cantaloupe.

**This recipe was updated on 3/28/22 – we made it even yummier!
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. 🙂

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! 😉
