I’ve been making this cream cheese fruit dip with marshmallow fluff since I was knee high to a grasshopper (as we say down south). I started whipping it up for family gatherings because it’s so simple, and it quickly became my go-to party recipe. The combination of creamy ingredients and fluffy marshmallow creme creates a sweet dessert dip that goes great with fresh fruit, pretzels, 🥨 and these delicious Homemade Walkers Shortbread Cookies.
What’s the secret to making this fluffy marshmallow fruit dip? Use fully softened cream cheese and whip it until it’s completely smooth before adding the marshmallow creme. Stir in the whipped topping at the last minute to create a light, fluffy texture without any lumps.
