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:
- Mix: Stir the marshmallow fluff and cream cheese with a hand mixer or a stand mixer until all the lumps are out.
- 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!

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

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!
