What You’ll Need

Cream Cheese – Use the original flavor, full fat or a lower fat version. Marshmallow Creme – The original flavor is fine. You can also use Marshmallow Fluff which is the same thing. Vanilla Extract – Gives the dip a warm depth of flavor. Fresh Fruit – Choose your favorite fruits: fresh strawberries, bananas, grapes, honeydew melon, pineapple chunks, blueberries, mandarin orange slices, kiwi, apples, etc.
How to Make Classic Marshmallow Fruit Dip
Mix ingredients together. Combine softened cream cheese, marshmallow creme, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Serve. Transfer the fruit dip to a serving bowl and serve with your favorite fresh fruits as a dip.
Tips for Success
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature, or blend it separately with an electric hand mixer, before adding the marshmallow creme to it, to smooth it out first and avoid lumps. Use a stand mixer on low speed to make large batches of this creamy dip.
What to Serve with Easy Fruit Dip?

Substitutions and Variations
Using toothpicks you can make mini fruit skewers, or have toothpicks in a small cup on the dessert table for handy snacking! Add 2 tablespoons of maraschino cherry juice to the dip for a fun pink color and a hint of cherry flavor. You can use the strawberry-flavored Marshmallow Creme to make strawberry fruit dip! Make a citrus punch dip by adding orange zest and the juice from 1 orange. You could also use zest and juice from a lemon or lime.
