This Fruit Dip is creamy, tangy, sweet, and made with just four ingredients for the easiest fruit treat ever
Fruit Dip
With only four ingredients and a few minutes to whip this together, you can’t go wrong!
Fruit Dip Ingredients
- Cream cheese: Use full-fat and high-quality brands for the best results.
- Marshmallow fluff: Best quality brand delivers the best results. I love Kraft®.
- Lime juice: Just a tiny bit gives this dip the most amazing flavor.
- Coconut extract: This is optional! You can also use orange extract instead.
Quick Tip
Marshmallow fluff is sticky and gooey—I love it! To scoop it out easily, rinse a spoon with hot water, dry it, and then scoop.
How To Make Cream Cheese Fruit Dip
- Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for a few seconds until just soft.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add fluff, lime juice, and optional coconut extract, and mix until creamy.
- Chill in the fridge for about an hour.
- Serve with dry fruit or snacks for dipping. Enjoy!
What To Dip In Fruit Dip
- Fresh fruit, of course! My favorites are green and/or red grapes, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, pineapple chunks, kiwi, and bananas.
- Other treats can include cubed pound cake, cubed Rice Krispie Treats®, brownie bites, large marshmallows, pretzels, and graham crackers.
Variations
Switch Things Up
- Yogurt Option: Mix in yogurt and softened whipped topping instead of fluff and cream cheese.
- Strawberry Twist: Swap plain cream cheese with strawberry cream cheese.
- Whipped Cream: Make as directed below, then mix in one 8-ounce tub of whipped topping.
- Chocolate Fruit Dip: See the recipe here!
- Try different flavors: You can try clementine juice with vanilla, lemon juice with lemon extract, or lime juice with orange extract.
Tips For Success
- Fully dry the fruit: Even a little liquid keeps the dip from sticking.
- Chill time: The fruit tastes best when cold. I like to refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving.
- Use full-fat ingredients to keep the dip thick, not watery.
Storage

Yes! Store in the fridge for up to a week. Add lime juice just before serving.

Yes! Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month, then thaw in the fridge overnight. Whisk before serving. It’s best when fresh, though.

Cream Cheese Fruit Dip Recipe
Cream Cheese Fruit Dip Recipe is rich, creamy, and lightly citrusy, and it’s ready in minutes with just four ingredients.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese full-fat; brick-style
- 1 (7-ounce) container marshmallow creme
- 1 lime
- 1/8 teaspoon coconut extract optional, see note 1
Instructions
- Remove cream cheese from packaging and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 15 seconds. Flip and microwave another 10 to 15 seconds, until softened but not melted. (Time will vary depending on your microwave.)
- Add softened cream cheese to a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until completely smooth and lump-free, about 1 minute. Run a spoon under hot water and dry it off, then use it to scoop the marshmallow creme. Add to the bowl along with 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice and the coconut extract if using. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until fully chilled. Serve with your favorite fruit or dippers. Make sure fruit is completely dry before serving, or the dip may slide off.

Recipe Notes
Note 1: Increase coconut extract to taste keeping in mind that the flavor deepens as the dip sits. You can also swap with vanilla, orange, or lemon extract.
Storage: Store tightly covered in the fridge for up to 7 days. If separation occurs, stir to recombine.
