I’m all about easy recipes in the summer. After a day of swimming, hiking, or working in the yard, I want to pull something together quick for hungry bellies. The great thing about this dip is that it is made up of just 3 ingredients-cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, and cool whip. 

This dip is so simple and delicious! I love how fluffy the texture is and it’s just the right amount of sweet. It’s not so sweet that it competes with the fruit, but it adds just what a sour green grape needs. This dip, some fruit, and a piled high sandwich is pretty much the perfect meal on a hot summer day.

Recipe FAQs

What else can I dip in fruit dip besides fruit?

If you don’t want to eat your dip with fresh fruit, you can also try dried fruits like apple chips or banana chips! Pretzels, crackers, or cookies are also an excellent way to eat this dip.

Can fruit dip be stored in the freezer?

Freezing the cream cheese in this dip can change the texture. It is best to avoid freezing the dip and keeping it stored in the fridge.

How long does fruit dip last in the fridge?

Fruit dip can last in the fridge up to a week. It makes it easy to pull out when you are looking for something to snack on throughout the day.

Expert Tips

  • Use room temperature cream cheese so that it is easier to blend with the marshmallow fluff.
  • A little bit of citrus zest (orange, lemon, or lime) or a dash of cinnamon blended into the dip will give a subtle twist to the flavor.
  • This dip is easy to color to match special occasions with just a few drops of food coloring.

    I make a similar three ingredient dip, but my third ingredient is not whipped cream….that’s not really needed as the dip is sweet enough just with the marshmallow fluff added to the cream cheese. My third ingredient that makes it pop and always has people asking what it is and coming back for more is cinnamon….SO MUCH cinnamon. ๐Ÿ™‚ Just blend the other two ingredients and then add as much cinnamon as you’d like, then add some more! ๐Ÿ˜‰
