Just 2 ingredients and 5 minutes are all you need to whip up a batch of this fluffy, creamy goodness. Does it get any better?
Or easier?
I first tried this yummy marshmallow fruit dip deliciousness while visiting my in-laws in Minnesota. It was love at first bite!
I have to admit I was skeptical when my mother-in-law, RaVae, revealed the ingredients. How could such an unlikely combination of ingredients taste so good?
As weird as the combination sounds, it definitely works. It’s so good you’ll be licking the spoon.
Ingredients To Make Classic Marshmallow Fruit Dip
You’ll need just TWO ingredients to make this amazing fruit dip recipe:
- Marshmallow creme (aka marshmallow fluff in some parts of the country).
- Cream cheese – you can use regular or light cream cheese in this recipe.
The cream cheese balances the sweet marshmallow creme perfectly. And the cream cheese provides just the right amount of tang to keep the dip from being overly sweet.
How to Make Marshmallow Fluff Fruit Dip
Combine the softened cream cheese with the marshmallow fluff in a large mixing bowl. Blend with a hand mixer until the dip is smooth. It should only take a few minutes.
That’s it! I was serious when I said this was an EASY fruit dip recipe.

Spatula – I can never have enough of these.

could you use a lemon instead of orange and would you need extract? also. would you add sugar?
Yes, lemon works well with this recipe. If you want to up the lemony flavor you could add a couple drops of lemon extract. I don’t add extra sugar.
what leftovers?
So true – lol!
As the contributor promises this is amazing. My family has dipped almost any fruit in it and the flavor always delivers. Now I’m thinking I might have to try it with both soft and hard pretzels for that sweet salty play. Yum. The only people I wouldn’t recommend it to are diabetics. You can’t stop after a taste, so they maybe better off resisting.
I add cinnamon when i make this… such a lovely flavor. And i’ve used it to ice carrot cakes 🙂
I love that you’ve used this to frost carrot cakes – I bet it’s amazing!
I haven’t made this in forever and was glad I revisited this recipe. I ate mostly this and fruit for dinner while hosting a party…SO and guests loved it too.
Making this for ladies’ night at my friend’s house tonight!
Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes it can, Jenee. It does lose a little “fluffiness” over time but it still tastes great.
when you get ready to serve the dip and it is not fluffy anymore what do i do to make it fluffy?
Let it soften up a little, then give it a few stirs, Bessie.
what if your dip becomes hard what do you use to soften it back up
It should soften up if you let it set on the counter for 15-20 minutes.
Can you use marshmallow fluff instead of marshmallow cream ????
Yes – fluff and creme are the same.
For an adult version try a little amaretto…it is delicious. Took it to my cousin’s 60th birthday party everyone loved it
Oh my word – what a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing, Diane!
I tryed it with vanilla extract it was delicious. Gonna try almond extract tonight
Let me know how the almond version turns out.
Try adding a little Hershey chocolate syrup…so good! Or, you can also use the strawberry fluff…
Chocolate makes everything better. Thanks for stopping by, Jackie!
I add Vanilla bean flavored yogurt. I love the vanilla.
Adding a little orange extract sends this recipe over the top!
I agree, Mavis! Here’s a link to the orange flavored version https://www.areinventedmom.com/orange-flavored-marshmallow-cream-cheese-fruit-dip/
Has anybody tried with whole marshmallows. Maybe a little milk or water. What do you think
I’ve never tried it, but I don’t think regular marshmallows will work with this recipe.
I’ve been eating this since I was a kid and love it!! I’m going to making it for my daughters birthday party tomorrow and I was wondering if I can make it ahead of time and if so can I refrigerate it?
Hi Tarah! You can absolutely make this up ahead of time. It will keep for several days in the refrigerator, if it lasts that long.
A wonderful friend gave me this recipe years ago . Try adding a little almond flavoring. Super good and super easy.
I’ll have to try the almond flavor next time I make this dip, Di.
This used to be served as a snack to the day care children I worked at. We would add in some jelly for different flavors and serve with graham crackers or nilla waters. Also cinnamon for the fruit. This is a great quick snack that makes the taste buds happy. Thanks for sharing!
What a fun way to change up the flavors, Brandi!
I used strawberry cream cheese and its really good.
That sounds delicious, Karen!
making cornbread this weekend!i know we.ll enjoy.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do, Mattie!
Could I mix the marshmallow fluff and cream cheese and put it as a fruit salad instead of leaving it separate?
I think the dip is too thick to use as a dressing. Maybe thin it out with more whipped topping to get a thinner consistency?
