This marshmallow fruit dip is a quick, crowd-pleasing dessert that’s perfect for brunches, potlucks, showers, or a simple Valentine’s treat. It looks like whipped cream but is sweeter, thicker, and delightfully creamy. With only two main ingredients and minimal prep time, it’s an easy last-minute option that pairs especially well with strawberries.
Fruit Dip
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 jars (7 oz each) marshmallow creme or fluff (you can use a single 13 oz jar if available)
Directions
- Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl.
- Add the marshmallow creme.
- Beat by hand with a sturdy spoon or use a mixer on low to medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure an even texture.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and chill briefly if you prefer a firmer dip.
- Serve with fresh fruit such as strawberries, cherries, banana slices, pineapple chunks, or any fruit you enjoy. It’s also delicious with graham crackers or pretzels for a sweet-and-salty contrast.
Tips: For best results, be sure the cream cheese is completely softened so it blends smoothly with the marshmallow creme. If you want to add extra flavor, fold in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, a tablespoon of citrus zest, or a dollop of peanut butter for variation — but the classic two-ingredient version is reliably loved for its simplicity.
