Ingredients
Fruit Dip Ingredients
- 7.5 oz. softened strawberry cream cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 4-5 drops red food coloring (optional)
- 7.5 oz. marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese: If using a block of cream cheese, allow it to sit at room temperature for up to 1 hour to soften completely. If using a small tub of strawberry cream cheese spread, it should already be soft enough to use.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the softened strawberry cream cheese, sour cream, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and red food coloring (if using) until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in Marshmallow Fluff: Gently fold the marshmallow fluff into the cream cheese mixture. Stirring less will keep some airy swirls for a fluffy texture, but fully combining it is also fine depending on your preference.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to meld flavors and firm up. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 days before serving.
- Serve: Transfer the fruit dip to a serving bowl and pair with fresh fruit, pretzels, or cookies for dipping.
Notes
- Softening the cream cheese thoroughly is key for a smooth dip without lumps.
- Adjust the amount of honey for desired sweetness.
- Red food coloring is optional and used to enhance the pink color of the dip.
- This dip can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
- Try serving with a variety of dippers like apple slices, strawberries, vanilla wafers, or graham crackers.
