There’s nothing better than fresh fruit, especially when it’s served with chocolate fruit dip, chocolate fondue, or this simple yet satisfying cream cheese fruit dip.

I always keep plenty of fresh fruit in the house, but sometimes I like to jazz up my fruit a little bit. This cream cheese fruit dip is the perfect solution – it contains just 3 ingredients and is on the table in less than 5 minutes. It makes a great after school snack for the kids and is a welcome addition to any party menu.

How do you make cream cheese fruit dip?

This dip is a mixture of cream cheese, marshmallow cream and whipped topping – that’s it! All the ingredients are mixed together until smooth and creamy, then you’re ready to add your favorite fruit on the side and enjoy.

How long does fruit dip last in the fridge?

This fruit dip will stay good for up to 5 days in the fridge. You can store any leftovers in a covered airtight container until you’re ready to enjoy them. I don’t recommend freezing this dip as it may become watery when thawed.

Tips for cream cheese fruit dip

• This dip can be made a few days in advance which makes it perfect for parties. If you’re making the dip ahead of time, it’s best to let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
• You’ll want to make sure that your cream cheese is softened so that you end up with the smoothest end product.
• You can serve this with fruit of course, but also graham crackers, vanilla wafers or both. It’s fun to put out a whole assortment of dippers when you’re having a party.
• Looking to save a few calories? You can use light cream cheese and light whipped topping with great results.

Fruit dip variations

To me, this dip is the perfect blend of sweetness and creamy texture, with a bit of tang from the cream cheese. You can flavor your dip in so many different ways to suit your tastes.

• Chocolate Dip: Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips.
• Brickle Dip: Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/2 cup toffee bits.
• Cinnamon Spice: Add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
• Lemon Lovers: Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon.
• Strawberry: Use a tub of strawberry cream cheese instead of plain cream cheese, and stir in 1 tablespoon strawberry jam.
• Coconut: Stir in 1/3 cup toasted coconut and 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract.

The combination of the sweet fruit and creamy dip is irresistible, and the perfect lighter treat. You’ll have everyone asking you for a copy of the recipe!
