So, let’s get started with this delicious Cream Cheese Marshmallow Fruit Dip. Follow the steps below, and you’ll have a tasty treat ready in no time!
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature; leave out on the counter for at least an hour before making)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¾ cup marshmallow fluff (The Marshmallow Fluff Brand is best)
- Fruit to serve with the dip: strawberries, grapes, and pineapple are great options
Instructions:
1. Prepare Cream Cheese: Into a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer and large bowl), add the softened cream cheese. Beat on medium speed for 30 seconds until creamy.
2. Add Sugar: Reduce the speed to low and add the powdered sugar. Once combined, increase to medium speed and beat for another 30 seconds. Tip: Reducing the speed before adding the powdered sugar prevents it from flying everywhere.
3. Mix in Vanilla and Cream: Pour in the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat for one minute at medium speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for an additional 30 seconds to ensure everything is well-mixed.
4. Incorporate Marshmallow Fluff: Scoop in the marshmallow fluff and beat on medium-high speed for about a minute until the mixture is fully combined.
5. Serve: You can refrigerate the dip if you prefer it really cold, but it tastes fantastic right away. Serve with your choice of fruit.
Notes:
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for at least an hour before making the dip. This helps avoid any cream cheese chunks in the mixture.
- Choose sturdy fruits that don’t fall apart easily, such as strawberries, grapes, pineapple, melon, or mango. Avoid using raspberries, as they tend to disintegrate in the dip.
- If you don’t have a stand mixer or hand mixer, a bowl and whisk will work. Just make sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
