Ingredients You’ll Need
This marshmallow fruit dip with cream cheese is made with, well, marshmallow creme and cream cheese! I do like to add just two additional ingredients to take this from good to great. Here is what you will need for this recipe:
- Cream Cheese: One 8oz block of cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature, in order to help it mix into the other ingredients smoothly.
- Marshmallow Creme: I know that marshmallow creme is mainly a US product. You can make your own by melting 2 cups of mini marshmallows with 1/4 cup of corn syrup.
- Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract works as a flavor enhancer. It helps all of the flavors in this dish to combine into the perfect balance.
- Orange Zest: Optional, but very delicious addition. You can add the zest of one orange to add a fresh citrus finish that is unbeatable.
Jesseca’s Recipe Review
This fruit dip using marshmallow fluff is a forever favorite in our house. It’s sweet, creamy, and takes five minutes—total win. I’ve made it for holidays, after-school snacks, and even brunch spreads, and it’s always the first thing to disappear. The orange zest gives it a little something extra that makes people ask, “What’s in this?!”
Tip from Jesseca:
For an extra-smooth texture, beat the cream cheese on its own until completely lump-free before adding the marshmallow creme. It makes a big difference!
Substitutions and Variations
- Cream Cheese: You can use Neufchâtel (1/3 less fat cream cheese) for a lighter version. Just make sure it’s softened for the same smooth texture.
- Marshmallow Creme: Swap with whipped topping (like Cool Whip) in a pinch, but note that the flavor will be a bit milder and fluffier.
- Vanilla Extract: Almond extract or orange extract can add a fun twist—start with ¼ teaspoon and adjust to taste.
- Orange Zest: Totally optional, but adds a citrusy kick. Lemon or lime zest work well too, or skip it altogether for a classic version.
Want to get fancy? Try folding in mini chocolate chips, crushed pineapple (well-drained), or a swirl of strawberry jam for fun flavor spins.

Storage and Make-Ahead Instructions
This jet puffed marshmallow fruit dip stores beautifully, making it perfect for prepping ahead. Simply transfer the dip to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Give it a quick stir before serving to freshen up the texture.
If you’re planning ahead for a party or event, you can make this dip 1–2 days in advance. The flavors actually improve as it sits, and it stays perfectly creamy when chilled. For best results, store without toppings or garnishes and add those just before serving.
Recipe FAQs
Yes! This dip can be made 1–2 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge and give it a stir before serving.
Nope, it’s totally optional. It adds a subtle citrus flavor, but the dip is still delicious without it. You can also swap it for lemon or lime zest if you prefer.
You can, but the texture and flavor will be different. Whipped cream makes it lighter and less sweet, while marshmallow creme gives that fluffy, classic dip consistency.
Not recommended. Freezing changes the texture and can cause separation when thawed. It’s best enjoyed fresh from the fridge.
Strawberries, grapes, apple slices, pineapple chunks, and melon are all great choices. You can even use it as a spread for graham crackers or cookies.

Ingredients
- 1 (8oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 (7oz) marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- zest of 1 orange
Instructions
- Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour. This helps it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
