minutesThis Marshmallow Fluff Fruit Dip tastes like a fluffy, creamy marshmallow cloud that hugs every piece of fruit you dip into it. It combines marshmallow fluff, cream cheese, vanilla, a splash of cream, and a pinch of salt for a sweet, silky dip that works perfectly for fruit platters, parties, or a “treat yo’self” snack moment.
Ingredients
For the Dip:
1 cup (about 8 oz / 225 g) Marshmallow Fluff or marshmallow creme
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature (full-fat for best flavor)
2–3 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk (start with 2, add more if needed)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pinch fine salt (about 1/8 teaspoon, or to taste)
- For Serving (Choose Your Favorites):
Fresh strawberries, hulled
Apple slices (tossed lightly with lemon juice if prepping ahead)
Grapes, red or green
Banana slices
Pineapple chunks
Pears, sliced
Optional extras: blueberries, kiwi, melon cubes, or other seasonal fruit
Directions
- Soften the Cream Cheese
Remove the cream cheese from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 20–30 minutes until it softens slightly.
Cut it into chunks and place it in a medium mixing bowl so it blends more easily and avoids lumps. - . Beat the Cream Cheese
Use a hand mixer on medium speed and beat the cream cheese for 1–2 minutes until it turns smooth, creamy, and lump-free.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to make sure everything mixes evenly. - . Add the Marshmallow Fluff
Add the Marshmallow Fluff to the bowl with the beaten cream cheese.
Beat again on medium speed for another 1–2 minutes until the mixture looks smooth, thick, and well combined.
Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so no pockets of cream cheese remain. - . Flavor and Adjust the Texture
Add the vanilla extract and pinch of salt to the bowl.
Beat briefly on low speed to incorporate.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream (or milk) and beat again until the dip looks light, fluffy, and slightly looser.
If you want a thinner, more dippable consistency, add up to 1 more tablespoon of cream, a little at a time, until it reaches your preferred thickness. - Chill (Optional but Recommended)
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
Chilling helps the flavors meld and gives the dip a slightly thicker, fluffier texture. - Prep the Fruit
While the dip chills, wash and dry all your fruit thoroughly.
Hull the strawberries, slice apples and pears, peel and slice bananas, and cut pineapple or other fruit into bite-size pieces.
Arrange the fruit on a large platter or board around the spot where you’ll place the dip. - . Serve
Remove the dip from the fridge and stir gently to smooth it out.
Place it in the center of your fruit platter or on the side in a small bowl.
Serve immediately with skewers, small forks, or just grab-and-dip style.
Notes
- Optional Variations
You can tweak the base recipe without changing its overall vibe:
Extra fluffy: Beat the dip for an extra 1–2 minutes to whip in more air.
Citrus twist: Add 1–2 teaspoons of orange juice or lemon juice and a little zest for a bright, tangy note.
Chocolatey version: Mix in 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or melted chocolate for a chocolate marshmallow dip.
Cinnamon touch: Add 1/4–1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for a warm flavor that works great with apples and pears. - Storage
Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge.
Use within 3–4 days for best flavor and texture.
Stir before serving; if it thickens too much, add a small splash of cream or milk and mix until smooth again. - Estimated Nutrition (Per Serving – Approximate)
