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.

My grandkids love to eat fresh fruit and this fruit dip will go perfectly with the frest fruit! Thanks!
love the marshmallow in this dip!
Good, but way too sweet. Should have left the powdered sugar out.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
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… 😂
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!
Glad you do! That sounds good! Let me know what you think! Thank you!
This is Sokoll good!
