Fruit Dip

This 3 ingredient Fruit Dip goes together in minutes and can be served any time of year. Serve it with a big tray of fruit at a party, or keep it simple for an afternoon snack. 

This Fruit Dip recipe with marshmallow fluff is a staple at every family gathering we have. Whether it’s a special occasion like a birthday party, during the Christmas holiday or even a backyard cookout, everyone enjoys the light and fluffy combination with fruit. 

With only 3 ingredients – cream cheese, marshmallow creme and juice – this recipe is super easy to make. 

How to make Cream Cheese Fruit Dip 

Ingredients

• Cream Cheese – be sure the cream cheese is softened, it’s best to place it unwrapped in a bowl and let it set on the counter for a couple hours (depending on how warm your kitchen is) Heating it in the microwave to soften it typically doesn’t work, in my opinion.
• Marshmallow Creme – this ingredient is also called Marshmallow Fluff, and it’s actually one of my favorite ingredients to use in recipes. Marshmallow Frosting is so delicious on cupcakes, brownies or cookies, and of course there is S’mores Dip that everyone loves. And this Ice Cream Cake is always a hit! 
• Juice – you can certainly make this Dip Recipe without juice, however, the addition of it adds just a little more flavor to the dip. You can also use any juice you have on hand – orange, apple, cranberry, fruit – really anything. 

You can also substitute the original cream cheese with strawberry cream cheese and then skip the juice. 

Kitchen Essentials Needed

• Large Mixing Bowl 
• Hand Mixer – or stand mixer if that’s easier
• Rubber Spatula
• Measuring Spoon
• Microwave

How to serve Fruit Dip

It doesn’t get any easier or more spectacular than serving a beautiful tray filled with fruit along with the dip. However, there are several other ideas that you can also try – 

1. This Chocolate Fruit Dip goes great with fruit, but it is also served with marshmallows, yogurt pretzels, cookies and more. 
2. While this Charcuterie Board is mostly savory, the addition of fruit and dip would be perfect. 
3.  For the holidays – this time we served the fruit tray for 4th of July and cut the watermelon into star shapes for our Summer Edition of the Simple Easy Creative eMagazine. You can also make the dip with different flavors, like peppermint for Christmas time. 
4. Serving Fruit Dip Fondue is also really fun for kids – and adults.
