Recipe Ingredients
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Cream cheese: Remember to leave the cream cheese out of the fridge to let it soften before using.
- Marshmallow creme: Use a jar of your favorite marshmallow creme or make your own marshmallow fluff to add lightness to the dip.
- Fresh orange juice and zest: I love adding some orange flavor to brighten up the richness of the dip.
How to Make Fruit Dip
- Whip the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it’s light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the marshmallow creme along with the orange juice and zest, mixing until well combined and smooth.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it’s time to serve. This step ensures the dip is refreshingly cool and at its best consistency.
- Serve the dip with your favorite fruit and other dippers and let the fun begin!
Tips and Variations
- Remember to soften cream cheese! Leave it on the counter for an hour or so to soften. Alternatively, place unwrapped cream cheese on a microwave-safe plate and heat for about 15 seconds, or until soft (not melted).
- Try serving the dip in a hollowed-out fruit bowl, such as a pineapple boat or large orange, for an extra touch of elegance and fun.
- Instead of orange, try lemon or lime zest and juice for a different citrus twist.
- Add a dash of vanilla extract for a subtle flavor enhancement or some homemade Cool Whip for a more creamy texture.
Serving Suggestions
Beyond serving this marshmallow fruit dip with fresh fruit like apple slices, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, oranges, and bananas, this dip is excellent with various dippers like pretzels, vanilla wafers, pound cake and cinnamon tortilla chips.
For a fun presentation at baby showers, bridal showers, and family gatherings, skip the serving dish and present it in a scooped-out melon. It’s also great to include on a fruit and cheese platter.
Make Ahead and Storage
- Make ahead: This marshmallow and cream cheese fruit dip tastes better when made ahead of time, as it allows the flavors to meld together. Just store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container and give it a quick stir before serving.
- Store: Marshmallow fluff fruit dip with cream cheese keeps beautifully in the refrigerator for up to 7 days when stored in an airtight container. Its flavors meld and deepen over time, making any leftovers a treat to look forward to.
