Cream Cheese Fruit Dip Ingredients
- Cream Cheese. For best results, have your cream cheese at room temperature prior to mixing. It will blend much easier this way! You can use either regular cream cheese or reduced fat cream cheese in this recipe.
- Marshmallow Fluff (aka Marshmallow Creme). Marshmallow fluff is a confectionery spread that is similar in flavor (but not texture) to standard marshmallows. The sweetness of the fluff creates a perfect balance with the cream cheese in this easy fruit dip recipe. Look in your grocery store’s baking aisle for this ingredient.
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

I’ve made a similar dip using yogurt. No recipe. Carton of any flavor Yoplait yogurt (because it has a smooth texture) and a dollap of fluff. Mix. Add fluff to taste. Enjoy!
