Cream Cheese Fruit Dip Recipe

For this dessert dip, you’ll only need six ingredients and lots of dipping options. Gather up these ingredients to get started:

  • Cream Cheese – I cannot stress this enough, soften this before you start mixing. You’ll thank me later when you have a silky smooth dip.
  • Powdered Sugar – to sweeten this fruit dip.
  • Vanilla – to flavor.
  • Whipping Cream – this aerates everything as well as giving it more of a light texture.
  • Mini Marshmallows – we toast the marshmallows and mix in for this recipe for a wonderful summertime taste. But if you want to use marshmallow fluff instead that’s good too.
  • Sprinkles – this is optional but makes this cream cheese fruit dip super festive for parties. And the kids will love it.

Cream Cheese Mixture

How To Make Cream Cheese Fruit Dip

  1. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together to combine until smooth. Add in the cold whipping cream and beat until light, fluffy and thick, about 3 minutes.

Toasted Marshmallows

  1. Place mini marshmallows onto a baking sheet and broil on low to toast. Add toasty marshmallows into dip and stir. Like so! This gives you nice little toasty marshmallow bites that I’m sort of in love with. I suppose this could be optional, but whyyyy? Marshmallows in the summertime make my world go round.

Cream Cheese and Marshmallow Mixture

  1. Fold in nearly the entire container of sprinkles, reserving about 2 teaspoons for garnish. We are talking about the fourth of July after all 🙂 Another optional addition would be to add pop rocks for a super fun surprise.

The options are literally endless here. Stroll through the produce section and snack section of your local grocery store and get what you think will taste good with this Cream Cheese Fruit Dip. If you need some ideas to get you started, I got you covered.

  • graham cracker sticks

Leftovers

Cream Cheese Fruit Dip can last in the fridge for up to 5 days, covered, which makes it the perfect make-ahead party dip. I wouldn’t recommend freezing this dip because when thawed it can turn out a bit watery.
