This fluffy Marshmallow Cream Cheese Fruit Dip recipe blends cream cheese and marshmallow fluff into a sweet, addictive dip for fresh fruit!
So here’s the thing—I never meant to fall in love with a dip. But it happened.
The first time I had this Marshmallow Cream Cheese Fruit Dip, I wasn’t even planning to eat dessert. (Wild, I know.) It was one of those bring-a-dish potluck nights with our Home Group, and this unassuming little bowl of white fluff was just sitting on the end of the table, looking… harmless.
Until someone handed me a strawberry, dipped it in, and said, “You have to try this.” You know what? They were right. One bite turned into five. Then I hovered near that dip like a fruit ninja until the bowl was literally licked clean.
Cut to a few weeks later: I made a double batch for my husband’s going-away party before boot camp. I thought, “Finally, leftovers!” Ha. Not a chance. Everyone devoured it. I’m pretty sure someone asked for a spoon and abandoned the fruit completely.
This dip? It’s that good. It’s not just a recipe—it’s a little sweet moment of joy that sneaks up on you.
Why You’ll Love This Marshmallow Cream Cheese Fruit Dip Recipe?
Let’s start with the obvious: it’s only two ingredients. Yep, just two. No baking, no stovetop, no last-minute grocery runs. And yet, it tastes like something you’d find at a fancy baby shower or a Pinterest-perfect brunch.
What I love most is that it’s creamy without being too rich, sweet but not sickly. And it plays really well with others—grapes, strawberries, apples, graham crackers, cookies… or honestly, a spoon. No shame.
It’s the kind of treat you whip up on a whim but end up craving weekly. (Ask me how I know.)
Ingredient Notes:
Let’s talk about the super short shopping list:
-
Cream Cheese (8 oz): Go full-fat. This isn’t the moment to save calories—it gives that thick, smooth base that makes this dip sing.
-
Marshmallow Fluff (15 oz jar): Also known as marshmallow crème. This is where the sweetness and cloud-like texture come from.
Optional but HIGHLY recommended:
-
Fresh Fruit: Strawberries are a classic, but honestly? Grapes, apples, pineapples, and even orange slices work.
-
Graham Cracker Sticks: They make it feel fancy. And crunchy. And also like you made more of an effort than you did.
How To Make Marshmallow Cream Cheese Fruit Dip?
Okay, ready for how laughably simple this is?
Step 1: Let the cream cheese soften.
If you’ve got time, let it sit out for about 30 minutes. If not, microwave it in short bursts until it’s soft enough to mix.
Step 2: Mix it up.
Throw the cream cheese and marshmallow fluff into a bowl. Grab your hand mixer (or a strong arm and a whisk if you’re feeling ambitious) and blend until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Serve it like a hero.
Transfer to a pretty bowl or serve it straight from the mixing bowl—I’ve done both, depending on the crowd. Surround it with fruit and graham cracker sticks… or just hand out spoons.
That’s it. You’re officially the host everyone will be talking about.
