Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Electric Mixer hand or stand mixer
- 1 Rubber Spatula
- 1 Serving Bowl
Ingredients
Main
- 1 Jar Marshmallow Cream 7 ounce
- 1 Block Cream Cheese Softened (8 ounce)
Instructions
- Ensure the block of cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature for optimal mixing results.
- In a large mixing bowl, place the softened cream cheese.
- Using an electric mixer (either a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment), beat the cream cheese on medium speed until it is light, fluffy, and smooth, typically for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the entire 7-ounce jar of marshmallow cream to the whipped cream cheese in the bowl.
- Begin mixing on low speed to gently combine the two ingredients, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue to beat for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the dip is completely smooth, airy, and well-blended, with no lumps of cream cheese visible.
- Once thoroughly mixed, transfer the finished fruit dip to a serving bowl.
- Cover the serving bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow it to chill and firm up slightly.
- Serve the chilled fruit dip with an assortment of your favorite fresh fruits, such as strawberries, grapes, apple slices, melon chunks, or pineapple spears.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature; this is crucial for achieving a perfectly smooth, lump-free dip. Attempting to mix cold cream cheese will result in a chunky texture. When combining, start by whipping the cream cheese alone for a minute to ensure it's fluffy before gradually adding the marshmallow cream. Mix on low speed initially to incorporate, then increase to medium-high until the dip is light and airy. For enhanced flavor, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract or a pinch of fine sea salt to balance the sweetness. A teaspoon of fresh citrus zest (lemon or orange) can also add a bright counterpoint. Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm slightly, improving its consistency.
