We love nothing more than snacking on fresh fruit in the summer. You seriously can’t beat fruit that’s in season—it’s perfectly juicy and sweet. Make your fresh fruit a real treat with this classic marshmallow dip. This one is perfect for an after-school snack or to keep out on the counter to snack on all day.

Ingredient Notes

  • Marshmallow Cream: Keep it simple and grab a jar from the grocery store!
  • Cream Cheese: Soften cream cheese entirely before mixing to get a smooth, whipped consistency. Cold cream cheese causes lumps. You can also swap for mascarpone cheese.
  • Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract gives the best flavor, but imitation vanilla also works.

Flavor Variations

This is a simple recipe, but you can mix things up for any type of event or celebration.

Orange Fruit Drip: Mix in 2 tablespoons of orange juice concentrate in with your dip and some orange zest for a bright, citrusy flavor. This is perfect for winter months.

Berry Fruit Dip: Instead of using regular plain cream cheese, use 8 ounces of Strawberry or Blueberry cream cheese spread. This is great for spring and summer.

Honey Cinnamon Fruit Dip: Beat in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of honey. This is great for fall and winter.

Pumpkin Spice Fruit Dip: Beat in 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree along with 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice OR 1 teaspoon cinnamon + 1/4 tsp nutmeg + 1/4 tsp ginger + pinch cloves. This is pretty much the pinnacle of October parties.
