Description
This sweet and fluffy fruit dip is made with cream cheese, marshmallow creme, and a hint of vanilla. Perfect for dipping strawberries, apples, or grapes at parties or brunch.
Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup marshmallow creme
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (adjust for consistency)
Zest of 1 orange (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Add the marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined and airy.
Mix in heavy cream or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired dip consistency is reached.
Stir in orange zest if using, for a citrusy pop.
Chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and firm up slightly.
Serve with fresh fruit such as strawberries, grapes, apples, pineapple, or melon.
Notes
Substitute orange zest with lemon or lime zest for variation.
Fold in Greek yogurt for extra tang and protein.
Add a swirl of raspberry jam or crushed pineapple for a fruity twist.
For a chocolate version, beat in 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
Reduce powdered sugar for a less-sweet version and balance with more zest or vanilla.
