Strawberry Marshmallow Creme Fruit Dip

For this week's post, I thought I'd share a very simple recipe- one that takes only 60 seconds to prepare!

It looked so good that Cole stole a few bites before I could take a picture.

Cole and I were craving something sweet the other night (when aren't we?) but we were exhausted from a long day and didn't feel like spending a lot of time on a recipe.

So, what do I do? Pull up Pinterest, of course. I scrolled through a few delicious samples and found this gem.

Strawberry Marshmallow Creme Dip was described as a two-ingredient and 60-second recipe. 

Needless to say, I was sold. We had to run to Giant Eagle to pick up the ingredients, but I swear we got to the store and back AND finished the recipe within 20 minutes.

Ingredients:
8 oz Strawberry Cream Cheese
7 oz Marshmallow Fluff
Fresh strawberries for dipping

Strawberry cream cheese, strawberries and marshmallow fluff
7 oz is half of this tub of fluff.

There's only one direction for this dip: Mix well.

mix ingredients
Mix it up!

Seriously. That's all you have to do aside from cutting the tops off your strawberries and rinsing them off.


finished product
This cream cheese was the Giant Eagle brand and had bits of strawberry in it- Not bad.

My Tips:

The dip was a little less sweet than we would have liked, so we dipped our strawberries in sugar after coating them with the creme. It worked well, but next time I'm going to add about 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to the mixture instead.

Even though it is strawberry flavored, this dip would be tasty with other fruits as well. My suggestions? I would try blueberries, raspberries or bananas.

So, how many of you have tried one (or more!) of these recipes? Feel free to leave some comments with your own ideas! I would be more than happy to try them out.

  1. I have not tried this recipe but it sounds (and looks) delicious! However, I have eaten strawberries with whipped cream before. I'm assuming it tastes similar.

  2. I use this for fruit pizza! Press pre-made suger cookie dough in a baking sheet and cook till done. When it cools, spread with dip and top with your favorite fruits! Yum!
