The Recipe I Asked For IMMEDIATELY!
Years ago, I went to a good friend’s house for Bunko night. She had a full spread of appetizers and snacks, and everything was delicious. But I quickly became completely fixated on her cream cheese fruit dip recipe.
One bite and I was all in. It was hands down the best fruit dip I’d ever had. I immediately asked what she did to make it so good, and she laughed and said it was only four ingredients. Four! I could not believe something that good was that simple.
I definitely ate more than my share of that cream cheese fruit dip, and I could not wait to share it here.
Ingredients In This Cream Cheese Fruit Dip Recipe
| Ingredient | Tips |
|---|---|
| Cream cheese | Use full-fat, brick-style for the best texture. Let it soften fully so the dip turns ultra smooth with no lumps. |
| Marshmallow creme | A good-quality brand makes all the difference in flavor. Use a warm spoon to scoop it out easily. |
| Lime juice | Freshly squeezed gives the brightest/best flavor. Add slowly and adjust to taste. |
| Coconut extract | Optional, but adds a fun flavor. Start small; the flavor gets stronger as the dip chills. |
| Fruit for serving | Pat fruit completely dry before serving so the dip doesn’t slide off. |

Beat until smooth and creamy.
