How to make fruit dip with marshmallow fluff
It's easy to make this dip. Kids like to help, too!
Bring the cream cheese up to room temperature and place in a large mixing bowl.
Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Blend with a hand mixer until the dip is smooth. It should only take a few minutes.
Use a rubber spatula to make sure everything on the bottom and sides is incorporated.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve!
Hint: This fruit dip can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Before serving, you may want to fluff it up a little with a quick stir.
Substitutions and Variations
Here are a few ideas for you to mix up this cream cheese fruit dip.
- Cream cheese - you can use low fat cream cheese instead of regular. Reduced fat cream cheese is sometimes labeled as Neufchatel cheese. Please don't ask me to pronounce that!
- Extract - instead of vanilla extract, try almond extract or orange extract.
- Alternative - you could use a flavored liquor such as Grand Marnier (orange flavored) or Amaretto (almond flavored).
For another variation, try this Greek yogurt fruit dip.
What fruit is good for dipping
The sky is the limit here, but here are some of my favorite dipping fruits based on their size and taste:
- Apples - arctic apples a an apple variety that doesn't easily brown, as well as ambrosia, cameo, corland, gala and empire varieties. For a full list see this handy reference.
- Pineapple chunks or spears
- Grapes - any color of seedless grape
- Cherries - make sure they're pitted. Try putting them on cute toothpicks for dipping!
- Strawberries - whole or halved if they're large
Serving Suggestions
Of course, you could just dive into this dip with a spoon, but that's not gonna make your guests very happy. After all, it is the ultimate party dessert!
Instead, why not serve with fruits as outlined above, vanilla wafer cookies, graham crackers or pretzel things. Cubed pound cake would be yummy too!
This dip is tasty as a dip (of course) but can also substitute as a simple cake frosting!
Storage
Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Top tip
If you have leftover fluff, do what my husband does and make a flutternutter sandwich. What's that, you way? It's peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. Give it a try!
FAQ
I still find the original Marshmallow fluff from Durkee Mower at Wal-Mart, Target and Amazon. You can also use Jet-Puff marshmallow creme, which is a Kraft brand.
