Cream Cheese Fruit Dip Recipe
Ingredients
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff (or powdered sugar)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
• Fresh fruit of choice (strawberries, apple slices, grapes, pineapple, etc.)
Instructions
1️⃣ Soften the cream cheese: Let the cream cheese sit out at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or microwave it for a few seconds to soften.

3️⃣ Fold in the whipped cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream or Cool Whip until well combined and smooth. This adds a light and fluffy texture to the dip.
4️⃣ Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with fresh fruit for dipping!
5️⃣ Enjoy: Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
