Hi there
When you say:
8 ounce tub whipped topping
Is this cool whip or something else?
Thanks
Yes it’s Cool Whip!
What is marshmallow cream, what can I use in place of it. I’m in Australia have never heard of marshmallow cream. HELP
It’s in a jar it’s basically liquid marshmallow, sometimes can be called fluff. I haven’t tested this with a substitute for the marshmallow so it’s hard for me to say what might work instead, my best guess would be something like a vanilla yogurt but it’s not an exact substitute.
My family loved this dip! Put on a movie and served the dip! The kids thought it was a party!
Super easy to make and it was a crowd pleaser! Cleaned the bowl at a BBQ we attended
Wow, my family loved this delicious fruit dip at a picnic this weekend. Really tasty (and not too sweet) with fruit and so easy to make. Even my picky niece came back for more!

Can’t wait to make it for next gathering or before probably Like idea of putting on SKEWERS Sticks maybe fresh fruit would be okay doing it that way Of course DOLE What brand makes the Whipped cream cheese??
I think all the major brands of cream cheese (Challenge, Phiadelphia, etc) make whipped cream cheese, it comes in a tub near the regular cream cheese!
The best ever!
This looks yummy and great for TV time.
