This strawberry fluff fruit dip recipe was one of the first recipes I fell in love with as a kid, and honestly, I’ve never grown out of it. It’s light, creamy, and totally irresistible. Plus, it couldn’t be easier: just two ingredients and a bowl.

I think I first tried it at a party thrown by Shannon Mattson (aka one of the kindest, spunkiest humans ever), but either way, it’s been a favorite ever since. Now, my own kids are licking their bowls clean every time I make it.

And the best part? No complicated steps, no baking, no stress. Just grab two simple ingredients at the store, give them a quick whip, and serve it up with your favorite fresh fruit.

Oh, and if you’re new here, I should probably confess, fruit and I are basically soulmates. I’ll almost always pick a juicy peach or a handful of strawberries over chocolate. Almost. (I’m still human… fresh chocolate chip cookies are sacred.)

Strawberry Fluff Fruit Dip Ingredients

I know I already said it, but it’s worth repeating: this is one of the easiest fruit dip recipes out there. All you need are two simple ingredients:

  • Marshmallow Fluff: You’ll want the jarred kind from the store. Jet-Puffed makes a version called marshmallow creme that works perfectly. I’ve even heard there’s a strawberry-flavored version out there! If you spot it, grab it!
  • Strawberry Cream Cheese: I like to use the 7.5-ounce container from Philadelphia. It adds the perfect fruity tang and creamy texture.

That’s it! Just two ingredients for a totally dreamy, crowd-pleasing dip. You’ll find the exact measurements and step-by-step instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

How to Make Homemade Fruit Dip 

This strawberry marshmallow dip is almost too easy! Like, “how is this even a recipe?” easy. It takes less than 5 minutes to whip up, and here’s all you need to do:

  1. Mix: Stir the marshmallow fluff and cream cheese with a hand mixer or a stand mixer until all the lumps are out.
  2. Serve: Spoon into a serving dish and serve alongside your choice of fruit. 

That’s it! Truly, the easiest appetizer or snack. It’s perfect for baby showers, bridal showers, birthday parties, or just because you’re craving something sweet and fluffy. It’s always a crowd favorite!

What to Serve with Fruit Dip

This creamy, dreamy easy fruit dip recipe is the perfect centerpiece for any fruit platter. I love placing a bowl of it in the middle of a big tray, surrounded by all kinds of fresh fruit (and maybe a few fun extras!). For a nice balance, I like to add a savory counterpart as well. If you’re looking for something salty, our creamy artichoke dip is a fun addition. Here are some of our favorite fruit pairings for this dip:

Fruits

  • Strawberries: The ultimate dipper! Sweet, juicy, and always a crowd-pleaser.
  • Bananas: Slice into thick banana slices for easy dipping and no mess.
  • Apples: Crisp, tart, and perfect with the creamy sweetness of the dip.
  • Kiwi: Bright and tangy! Just peel and slice for a tropical twist.
  • Mango: Tropical, sweet, and oh-so-good with a dollop of fluff.
  • Pineapple: Juicy, bold, and refreshing, especially when chilled.
  • Peaches: Soft, fragrant, and amazing when in season.
  • Pears: Mild and sweet, they add a soft texture to the mix.
  • Honeydew Melon: offers a crisp bite and natural sweetness in every slice.

Not-So-Fruity Options

  • Cinnamon Graham Crackers: Crunchy and sweet! Basically like dessert nachos.
  • Nilla Wafers: Classic, bite-sized, and made for dipping.
  • Pretzels: For a salty-sweet combo that never disappoints.

And if you want to take things up a notch? Sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips on top of the dip right before serving. Trust me. Kids (and grown-ups) go wild for it.

Can I Use Another Flavor of Cream Cheese?

I don’t see why not! Use any fruit-flavored cream cheese you’d like. I’ve also seen cheesecake and brown sugar cream cheese, which would work nicely here, too. 

Tips for Making Fruit Dip

Soften the Cream Cheese First

For the smoothest, fluffiest dip, let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before mixing. This makes it easier to blend with the marshmallow fluff and ensures there are no lumps.

Keep Your Fruit Looking Fresh

Some fruits, like apples and bananas, tend to brown quickly once sliced. To help prevent that, toss them with a splash of lemon or orange juice before serving. It adds a touch of brightness and keeps your platter looking fresh longer!

Storing This Strawberry Fluff Fruit Dip Recipe

This strawberry fluff fruit dip can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Simply transfer it to an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap, then refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. ​For optimal freshness, avoid dipping fruit directly into the main container, as this can introduce moisture and cause the dip to break down more quickly. ​

Freezing is not recommended, as the cream cheese base may separate and result in a grainy texture once thawed.

When my kids walk in the door from school and this Strawberry Marshmallow Fruit Dip Recipe is on the counter ready to be dipped into, it is all smiles in our house! It is thick and creamy and oh so easy! All you need is 2 ingredients and 5 minutes!
