Ingredients Needed
- 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.
Recipe Variations and Substitutions
- Add some citrus. Adding 1 tablespoon of fresh squeezed orange, lime, or lemon juice is a great addition to this creamy dip recipe. You can also add in orange zest, lime zest, or lemon zest too if desired.
- Add vanilla. Adding ½ – 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract is another nice addition to this homemade dip recipe.
- Use strawberry cream cheese. Make this into a strawberry fruit dip by replacing the regular cream cheese with strawberry cream cheese!
- Use Cool Whip instead of marshmallow creme. Some people prefer using Cool Whip in lieu of marshmallow fluff for fruit dip. If you’d like to give it a try, do a 1-for-1 swap with the marshmallow creme.
