Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 7 oz jar marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow creme)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, to thin the dip to your desired consistency)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to prepare the base of the dip.
- Blend Until Smooth: Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend all the ingredients together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Adjust Consistency: If the dip is too thick, gradually add a tablespoon of milk at a time, mixing thoroughly, until it reaches your desired consistency suitable for dipping.
- Taste and Sweeten: Taste the dip and, if you prefer it sweeter, add more powdered sugar little by little, mixing well after each addition.
- Serve: Serve the dip alongside a variety of fresh fruits such as strawberries, pineapple chunks, apple slices, grapes, or melon pieces for dipping enjoyment.
- Store: Refrigerate any leftovers promptly in an airtight container, where it will keep well for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For easier mixing, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature.
- Add milk sparingly to avoid making the dip too runny.
- This dip pairs well with nearly all fresh fruits and can also be served with graham crackers or pretzels for a tasty treat.
- Refrigerate leftover dip to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
- Adjust sweetness according to personal preference by modifying powdered sugar amount.
