Servings: 6 servings
Cost: $12.12
Equipment
- Stand mixer or hand mixer
Ingredients
“Rainbow” (Fruit)
- Red fruit such as strawberries
- Orange fruit such as oranges
- Yellow fruit such as pineapples, mango, or banana
- Green fruit such as kiwi
- Blue fruit such as blueberries
- Purple fruit such as grapes
“Clouds” (Fruit Dip)
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese full-fat, brick-style, see note 1
- 1 (7-ounce) container marshmallow creme see note 2
- 1 clementine orange or orange
- 1/16 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Remove packaging from the block of cream cheese. Place in a microwave-safe bowl or plate and microwave for 15 seconds. Flip the cream cheese over and microwave another 10–15 seconds or until softened. Time will vary; just remember you want it softened—not melted.
- Place the softened cream cheese in a bowl attached to a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or use a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer). Run a spoon under hot water and dry it off, then use to scoop out the marshmallow fluff. Add the fluff to the bowl along with the 2 tablespoons fresh clementine juice and salt. Beat at steady speeds (don’t whip it!) until completely smooth and creamy.
- Cover and refrigerate the dip until thoroughly chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Prep the fruit by washing and completely drying. (Make sure it is 100% dry before serving it with the dip—otherwise the dip slides right off!) Assemble the fruit on a large flat plate or platter to look like a rainbow. Scoop up the dip and place it like clouds at the bottom of the rainbow. Use the back of the spoon to add texture to the clouds. Enjoy promptly!

Notes
Note 1: Choose a full-fat, high-quality brand of cream cheese for best results. Be sure to use brick-style cream cheese, not cream cheese from a tub. I recommend Philadelphia® (not sponsored).
Note 2: Use the best quality marshmallow fluff brand for the best flavor. I love Kraft® Jet-Puffed (not sponsored).
Nutrition Note: Nutrition information is only calculated for the fruit dip, as fruit will vary!
Storage: Keep leftover fruit in separate airtight containers in the fridge for 1–2 days to avoid flavor mixing. Store the dip separately for a few days, stir well before reuse, and thin with citrus juice if too thick.
