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).
3 Ingredient Marshmallow Fluff Fruit Dip
This dip is also fun to serve as part of a dessert board alongside cookies, fruit, and classic potluck treats like orange fluff jello salad or strawberry pretzel salad.
One of the reasons this recipe is so popular is because it’s a simple 3 ingredient fruit dip. Cream cheese gives the dip a rich texture while marshmallow fluff adds sweetness and lightness, and a splash of vanilla extract ties everything together.
For another variation, try this Greek yogurt fruit dip.

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.
