This strawberry fluff fruit dip is one of the first recipes I fell in love with as a kid and I still can’t get enough of it. All you need is two simple ingredients!
When I was a teenager, I had this marshmallow fluff dip for the first time and while I think it’s from Shannon Mattson —one of the sweetest, spunkiest and most tender hearted people I know — I could also be totally wrong. Either way, this easy fruit dip is pure heaven and I’ve got three kiddos over here licking their bowls clean in order to not miss out on a single bit.
And the very best part? It uses just two ingredients. Boo-yah. There’s literally nothing easier than buying two things at the store, whipping them together and serving with a platter of fruit.
I’ve actually mentioned this a few times, but in case you are new on this blog, fruit and I are the best of friends. I’d actually take it over chocolate most of the time. Most of the time. (I mean, who could ever turn down a hot, homemade chocolate chip cookie?).
Strawberry Fluff Fruit Dip Ingredients
Like I said already, this is such an easy fruity dip recipe! To make this strawberry dip, you’ll need:
- Marshmallow Fluff – the jarred stuff you can buy at the store, Jet Puffed makes one called marshmallow creme. I’ve also heard you can buy strawberry flavored marshmallow cream, so if you can find that, go for it!!
- Strawberry Cream Cheese – Philadelphia is my preferred brand, it’s a 7.5oz container
Seriously, that’s all it takes to make this incredible cream cheese dip! The exact measurements for each ingredient and instructions for the making the dip can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.
How to Make Fruit Dip
This strawberry marshmallow dip is so simple to make I think it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare! Here’s how to make fruit dip:
- Beat the marshmallow fluff and cream cheese together until smooth.
- Spoon into a serving dish and serve alongside your choice of fruit.
Couldn’t be easier, right?! My kind of appetizer! It would be so cute at a baby shower for a little baby girl! Or a bridal shower! It is always a hit!
What to Serve with Fruit Dip
This is one of those fruity dip recipes that works best with strawberries and bananas, but really any fruit will work. Think: apples, pineapple, or even peaches and pears. You could also serve this dip with pretzels, Nilla Wafers, graham crackers, and more!
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
This dip recipe turns out best if you let the cream cheese soften slightly before blending it with the marshmallow fluff. Let it rest on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes, then mix it into the fruit dip.
When serving this fruit dip, you may notice that your fruit browns quickly. Bananas and apples in particular brown quite quickly once the air hits their flesh, but if you’re wondering how to keep apples and bananas from browning you can always just toss them with a little bit of lemon juice.
With that said, I’m going to be totally honest with you, I don’t like to do that. Lemon juice adds a little zip to the fruit and so as much as it pains me to say this, I prefer to cut the fruit right before serving. Yes, that means that we have one more thing to do before guests show up, but I’m willing to do it!
When my kids walk in the door from school and this strawberry marshmallow fruit dip 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!

Just made this again this year to enjoy with our fruit salad! We absolutely love this! Happy 4th of July to All!
Sweet Basil
Happy 4th of July to you! Thank you for the support and feedback!
Kris Marie
I just made this incredible fluff up! I used softened strawberry cream cheese, marshmallow fluff and a little maraschino cherry juice! OMG incredibly delicious!! Thank you once again! Happy 4th of July to All, will be serving this with our mixed fruit salad!
Sweet Basil
Yum! That sounds so amazing! Happy 4th of July to you!
Rita
Has anyone tried this with cool whip?
Sweet Basil
It works great! Just make sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature so it’s not lumpy. Enjoy!
Peggy Brady
Have had this dip for MANY years but add a box of Strawberry Jello mix with plain cream cheese….goes well with every fruit! Kids eat tons of fruit just for the dip. Can also add a touch of Ginger instead of Strawberry Jello for a more adult taste. Either way, it’s a HIT!!!
Sweet Basil
Ohhh I’ll totally try that!
Jenn
I doubled the recipe for a party because the recipe says it yields only 4-6 servings….turns out it serves many more…after I ran out of fruit, we tried graham crackers with the remaining dip and that was also delightful! This is quite tasty!
Lee
Can you just use plain philly cheese and add your fruit and also I live in Australia so what is fluff
Lynda
Comes in a jar, we use this to make fudge with. Kraft makes it along with other brands….
Deborah
My mother used philly cream cheese and powdered sugar great on pears from a can. Can be used on any fruit and any fruit from a can. Hope you try it I think it is better than the strawberry cream cheese too strong.
Sweet Basil
Deborah,
That sounds fantastic! Cannot wait to try it!
Sweet Basil
You certainly could, but it’s not as fluffy or flavorful. Marshmallow fluff can be made, here’s a recipe if you can’t buy it (amazon probably has some too) https://www.chow.com/recipes/30296-homemade-marshmallow-creme
Megan
If you use plain cream cheese, squeeze in lemon juice. Great flavor for all fruit.
Sweet Basil
That’s a wonderful idea! We have a ton of fruit right now and I can try it out asap!
Donna
Fluff is marshmallow cream. If you don’t want to use cream cheese you can blend the marshmallow cream with plain or flavored yogurt and then add a fruit jelly of your choice for flavoring. Most people stick with berry types but a nice lemon would be good too.
Amber
I have used this recipe for years and everybody loves it. It tastes great with practically any fruit! I find if you whip the cream cheese first then add the marshmallow fluff, it’s easier and don’t get lumps.
Sweet Basil
Absolutely, whipping it first definitely helps!
Clara
I have made a very similar dip for many years. I use 16 ounce regular cream chees and 14 ounce marshemellow whip. Original recipe called for 8 ounce CC and 7 ounce whip but my family never thinks that is enough so I always have to double it I have never tried it with strawberry cream cheese, I’ll have to try it like that the next time. We eat it with strawberries, melon, pineapple, apples,
Sweet Basil
I’ll have to try your way too!
Lynette wyllis
I have used this recipe for many years. It is so delicious. I never thought to use the strawberry cream cheese, so can’t wait to try it. We usually eat strawberries with it. One recipe does not go far with four grandsons!!!
Sweet Basil
Oh, I bet! Boys eat so much!!

Karen Back

Crystal
My family has been making this dip for years! It’s so yummy and always a huge hit.
Sweet Basil
Isn’t it the best?!
Lynnea
never thought abpout strawberry cream chees. when I make fruit did I do the marshmallow creme, regular cream cheese, some maraschino cherry juice and sometimes chop a few of the cherries into tiny pieces and add them, but definitely gonna try the strawberry cream cheese, sounds amazing.
Sweet Basil
ohhhh! I’ve never thought about maraschino juice. Genius!
Linda J.
Can I add strawberry glaze to it ? Would that make it TOO runny?
Sweet Basil
Hi Linda, it may break down the dip a little too much, but if you keep it light like in this cheesecake dip I think you’d be fine. https://ohsweetbasil.com/no-bake-cheesecake-dip-raspberry-sauce-recipe.html
jane
What size containers did you use for the fluff and cream cheese?
Sweet Basil
oh boy, not sure why it keeps disappearing, 7 oz fluff and 8 oz cream cheese 🙂
Cindy
i have made this in the past, it is always a HUGE hit. SO Yummy.
debra
I’m in Il. Where do I find strawberry. Cream cheese. They have they have other flavors but that one lol.
Kimberly Wood
Hi. Instead of it coming in a block it comes in a small round bowl with the flavored cream cheeses. In Ohio it is sold at most retailers/grocers. Hope this helps.
Joanna
A lot of sugar, but for a once in a while treat, I guess I could splurge…
Sweet Basil
I bring it out with guests because then my portion is small and I didn’t over do it since it is a lot of sugar!
