If you’re looking for an easy Marshmallow Fruit Dip, this recipe deserves a spot on your table. While I also love a simple yogurt fruit dip, this version has a richer, creamier texture that’s perfect for parties, holidays, or an afternoon snack with your favorite fresh fruit.
My marshmallow fruit dip blends marshmallow creme with cream cheese for a sweet, tangy, cloudlike scoop.

Marshmallow Fruit Dip Recipe
Key Ingredients
Cream cheese is what keeps this dip from being cloyingly sweet, cutting the marshmallow with a gentle tang and giving it enough body to cling to a strawberry. On its own, the marshmallow creme is just sweet fluff that slides right off the fruit.
Marshmallow creme: This is the sweet, fluffy heart of the dip, and the jarred creme blends in far smoother than melted marshmallows ever could. I always reach for the creme because melted marshmallows cool into stubborn sticky strings that never fully smooth out.
Whipped topping lightens the dip from a dense spread into an airy, cloudlike scoop. It’s the difference between something you spread on fruit and something you dunk fruit into.
Tips to Make It Perfect
Beat the cream cheese smooth before the creme goes in: Any lumps left at this stage lock in once the marshmallow creme is added and you can’t beat them out later. I whip it on its own first until it’s completely smooth, then everything else folds in clean.
Fold the whipped topping gently, don’t beat it: The airiness is the whole appeal, and running the mixer through it flattens all that volume back out.
Serve it cold for the best texture: A short chill firms the dip into a scoopable consistency and keeps it from going runny at room temperature.
