The Story Behind the Recipe
My kid has been wanting to throw a party for a while now, and I finally decided to go for it when she asked to host a Halloween party for her and her friends.
It’s been years – like pre-kid – since I hosted a Halloween party! So I feel a little out of my element. BUT … my kiddo is so excited, it’s really pretty impossible not to get caught up in the fun.
A bonus to planning and hosting a Halloween party is that it’s provided inspiration for some fun Halloween foods, so I’ll be sharing those goodies for the next couple of weeks!
This marshmallow fluff fruit dip isn’t exactly Halloween themed, per se, but it’s part of a Halloween “charcuterie” board I’ll be sharing later on. Plus, fruit dip is especially delicious with apples, and apples are in season, so I love the idea of sharing this marshmallow fluff fruit dip now!
Why You’ll Love Marshmallow Fluff Fruit Dip
As a parent, it always feels good to have our kids dive into fruits or veggies, and dips are often our secret weapon for making that happen. This fruit dip is no exception – it makes delicious fruit taste even more delicious! The sweet-and-tangy flavors are perfect.
This dip is SO easy to make and elevates any fruit for parties, snack time, and more.
For our Halloween-themed snack board, we flavor our marshmallow fluff fruit dip with apple pie spice, but I’m sharing a few ways to spice it up (or not) depending on the season, what you’re serving with it, and your mood.
Ingredients
- Cream cheese – I like the creaminess and flavor of full-fat cream cheese, but reduced fat cream cheese or vegan cream cheese both work.
- Marshmallow fluff – Yep, the stuff in a jar!
- Spices – I call for apple pie spice here (because this dip is so amazing with apples) but you can do just cinnamon or even pumpkin pie spice. OR skip the spices and add a teaspoon of vanilla extract instead. Anything goes.
Adaptations/Variations
- Vegan Marshmallow Fluff Fruit Dip: Okay, so both of the main ingredients aren’t vegan. We’ve got cream cheese (dairy) and marshmallow fluff (which has egg, oddly enough, but not gelatin, which your typical marshmallow generally have). Luckily, there are vegan version of both those products out there. Vegan cream cheese is pretty easy to find, and yummy Dandies brand carries a vegan marshmallow fluff. Perfect!
- Vanilla Marshmallow Fluff Fruit Dip: Skip the spices and instead add a teaspoon or two of pure vanilla extract. So good!
- Orange Marshmallow Fluff Fruit Dip: Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of orange juice concentrate.
How to Make Marshmallow Fluff Fruit Dip
It’s beyond easy to make this marshmallow and cream cheese fruit dip! Just add the ingredients to a mixing bowl, grab your handheld blender, and mix until it’s well-blended. Done!
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it.
Tips for Success
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temp. Otherwise, it won’t mix with the marshmallow fluff.
- If you’re serving it with apples, toss them in lemon juice first. That will help keep the apples from browning.
Storage
This marshmallow fluff fruit dip keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. I love that it’s so easy to make ahead of time!
Can I Freeze Marshmallow Fluff Dip?
I wouldn’t recommend it. The texture after thawing won’t be the same.
I hope you love this marshmallow fluff fruit dip as much as we do! It’s so perfect for entertaining and parties all year long, but it honestly just makes any fruit a little bit more special for anytime snacking, too.
