Fruit Dip Recipe
Ingredients:
- 7.5 oz. strawberry cream cheese, softened ππ§
- Β½ cup sour cream πΆ
- 1 teaspoon honey π―
- Β½ teaspoon vanilla extract πΌ
- 2 tsp lemon zest π
- 4-5 drops red food coloring (optional) π
- 7.5 oz. marshmallow fluff π₯
Instructions:
- Soften the Cream Cheese: If youβre using a block of cream cheese, let it sit at room temperature for up to 1 hour to fully soften. This step is crucial for ensuring a smooth and creamy texture. π
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and food coloring (if using) until well-combined. Use a hand mixer for a smoother consistency or a spoon for a more rustic texture. π₯£
- Fold in Marshmallow Fluff: Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff. The more you stir, the fewer air pockets youβll have, making it less fluffy. It’s okay to fully combine it or leave fluffy swirls, depending on your preference. π₯β¨
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour prior to serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. You can also prepare this dip up to 2 days in advance. βοΈ
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with a variety of fresh fruits, pretzels, and cookies. My personal favorites are strawberries, apple slices, pretzel sticks, and vanilla wafers. ππ₯¨πͺ

- Customizing the Flavor: Feel free to experiment with different flavors of cream cheese, such as mixed berry or honey walnut, to add a unique twist to the dip.
- Serving Ideas: Besides fruit, pretzels, and cookies, you can also serve this dip with graham crackers, pound cake bites, or even use it as a filling for crepes!
