- Strawberry Cream Cheese:The right amount of cream and the perfect flavor of strawberry to give this fruit dip the best flavor.
How To Make Fruit Dip with Cool Whip
- Microwave.Pour the marshmallow creme into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it for 10 seconds. Don’t zap it for any longer, though, or it’ll turn into a liquid.
- Mix.Place the cool whipped topping, marshmallow cream, and cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl. Using an electric mixer, combine the ingredients until smooth.
- Cool.Place the mixture into the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour prior to serving.
Tips & Variations
Best not to mess with a classic. In my opinion, this simple tried and true recipe is pretty perfect the way it is! But here are some great tips if you’re looking for something different.
- Enhance the sweetness. Add another flavorful note, add a tablespoon of pure vanilla extract to the mixture. Remember that pure, not imitation extract will yield the best results.
- Maraschino Cherry Juice. The strawberry cream cheese adds a great amount of fruity flavor. To add even more, consider pouring in a tablespoon of maraschino cherry juice! To keep things strictly strawberry, add a teaspoon of strawberry extract to emphasize that flavor.
- Orange Juice. To add a note of citrus, add one tablespoon of frozen orange juice to the mixture.
