Easy Fruit Dip:
With the outdoor entertaining season upon us, I thought we could use a yummy and easy fruit dip recipe.
For as long as I can remember, this is the fruit dip that my mom has made. For me, it’s a requirement for summer barbecues at home. (Oh, and if you need a vegetable dip, this Really Good Veggie Dip is a winner! It’s my go-to recipe!)
Although I’m probably partial to it for sentimental reasons, I recommend it because it is one of the best fruit dip recipes out there.
What is the best dip for fruit?
What I love is that it’s so simple to make. Better still, it’s likely you already have most of the ingredients in your pantry or refrigerator. All you need is cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, yogurt, and a splash of maraschino cherry juice!
The cream cheese gives it tang, the marshmallow makes it fluffy, and the yogurt keeps it smooth.
I also like the pale pink color, which you might guess is from the maraschino cherry juice. If you don’t have any on hand or don’t want to use it, no worries. You can substitute a splash of grenadine, a bit of strawberry jelly, or even a little red food coloring.
How to make Fruit Dip:
It’s easy!
Simply place all of the ingredients in a bowl and blend with a hand mixer until smooth. Serve with fresh fruit.
I served this dip many time times when I ran my bed and breakfast. It was a special treat that I could pair with a plate of fruit in the morning. You might not be surprised to hear that it was always a crowd pleaser!

Looks yummy! I’d like to know where you got your fruit platter!

add a splash of Grand Marnier! over the top!!!
I make something similar. A container of Cool Whip, a container or yogurt, mix together. You use whatever flavor yogurt that compliments the fruit you’re serving. It thickens if you let it sit in the fridge a little while.
You are correct! This is the greatest fruit dip – I have been making it for years. It is also really good on a fork . . . . ; )
Yaay – this is what I’ve been looking for! It’s beautiful and sounds fabulous! I sure with I could have gone to your bed and breakfast! 🙂
Even though you’ve been making it for years, it’s a new twist on an old favorite for me. The fruit dip I’ve been making for decades is simply 7 oz. of marshmallow creme + 8 oz. cream cheese. I like the idea of adding the yogurt & cherry juice. I must try this variation. Thanks for sharing!!
Not sure if I could make this in these times of Covid, but… I’m putting it in my recipe book (a looseleaf binder) to keep for the future. Thank you for another good recipe, Michael, and a reminder that good times will come again.
Can you use a flavored yogurt like honey or strawberry?
