Ingredients

  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened – for a smooth creamy texture be sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping or homemade Whipped Cream (about 3 cups)
  • 1 (7-ounce) jar Marshmallow Fluff – or use marshmallow creme which has a similar flavor and texture
  • strawberries, pineapple, grapes, or Pound Cake pieces, for serving

How to Make Fruit Dip

  1. COMBINE. In a large bowl, use a hand-held electric mixer or a stand mixer to beat 1½ cups powdered sugar, 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, and 1 teaspoon vanilla on low speed, until well mixed.
    • Fold in 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping and 1 (7-ounce) marshmallow fluff.
  2. CHILL + SERVE! Chill until ready to serve.

PRO TIP: Prevent Browning Fruit

Use a commercial product such as Fruit-Fresh. You can also brush lemon juice or ginger ale over the cut fruit or soak the fruit in 7UP or Sprite for 1 hour.

    I can’t believe how esy this was to make. Dipped some fresh strawberries and RASPBERRIES into it and spread some on top of some pound cake cubes too! So so yummy! Thanks!

    If you are diabetic, I think 1/4c. of sugar and no marshmallow fluff, would cut down on the carbs and sugars. making it healthier.

    My fiancé currently has been making this amazing marshmallow whip-cream cheese fruit dip which is out of this world! That amazing deliciousness definitely is bribe worthy! I will do all the dirty household chores just to get a taste of that yummy fruit dip!
    He just uses the marshmallow whip and cream cheese (2&2)
    I bet it would be even tastier with all the added sugar!

    I love to pair it with Honeydew,Green Apples, Strawberries, and Raspberries!

    Love all your recipes!

    If I’m allergic to marshmallows what is a substitute for that?

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      I wish I knew!!! Couldn’t really find anything online…anyone know??? I’d love to know!

      1. Jen says:

        You could use a sticky gelatin with a different flavouring just use less water. There might be artificial marshmallow flavourings you could add. Or use a different sweet flavouring like strawberries which goes great with cream cheese.

      You should be able to if you keep it refrigerated, and then I’d give it a good mix before serving. 😉
