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.

    Good, but way too sweet. Should have left the powdered sugar out.

        I make this dip all the time for the holidays and my kids birthdays. It is so good that I love how light and fluffy it is. It also has just the right amount of sweetness. Thanks for an easy and great recipe.

    I found this recipe oh I’d say 5 years ago. I have very limited cooking/baking skills and I wanted to bring a dish to my boyfriend’s Thanksgiving. It was a HUGE hit, so much so that they request I bring it to Thanksgiving every year. I was just pulling up the recipe to prepare for this Thanksgiving and thought it was about time I left a review and a kind note to say Thank you to the OP for such an amazing recipe that even the kitchen challenged peeps can endure.

    I took this to a Father’s Day Cookout yesterday with a platter of fruit. Everyone raved about it and when we were gathering up too go home the entire bowl was missing… Someone took it home with their own leftovers… 😂

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Haha! That is too funny! So glad to hear the dip was a hit!

    I LOVE this dip! Make it all the time! I am going to make it now and use it As the filling for a strawberry poke cake and I believe it’s going to be delicious! May use a little bit of milk to thin it out a little bit to spread OVER the holes!
