REcipe FAQs

What fruit goes with the dip?

Use whatever fruit is in season for fruit dipping. Some of our favorites include berries such as blueberries and strawberries, apples, which balance the sweetness of the dip, honeydew or watermelon, firm peaches, pineapple, and bananas.

What kind of cream cheese should I use?

For best results, use an 8 oz brick of regular cream cheese, not whipped cream cheese.

How do I quickly soften cream cheese?

Add sealed cream cheese to a bowl filled up with warm-hot water. Leave for 5-10 minutes for the cream cheese to soften. If you have more time, leave the cream cheese on your countertop for 30 minutes to 1 hour. You can also microwave the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl, but be sure not to overheat or melt the cheese.

What’s the difference between marshmallow fluff and marshmallow creme?

Both are the same thing! Marshmallow creme is the technical name of the spread, similar in flavor to marshmallows. Fluff is a brand name, so you may find what you are looking for in the store under the label of “marshmallow creme”.

Store & Freeze

  • Storage. Keep the marshmallow dip in the fridge, covered in an airtight container, for up to one week. Be sure to store fruit separately.
  • Freeze. Cream cheese doesn’t hold well in the freezer for long periods of time, but the dip can be frozen in a freezer-safe container for about a month, and thawed before enjoying.
