Ingredients

  • 7 oz. marshmallow fluff
  • 8 oz. full fat block cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup Greek vanilla yogurt
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional garnishes: orange zest, mini chocolate chips, granola

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cube the cream cheese, spread it on a plate, and microwave for 20-25 seconds until very soft. Transfer to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until very smooth.
  2. Step 2: Add the Greek vanilla yogurt, thawed orange juice concentrate, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Step 3: For a silkier, thinner dip, microwave the marshmallow fluff for 10 seconds, then beat it into the other ingredients until smooth.
  4. Step 4: For a fluffier dip, gently fold the marshmallow fluff into the mixture, being careful not to over-stir to retain airiness.
  5. Step 5: Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight. Serve chilled with assorted fruits and dippers.

Tips & Variations

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of orange zest or mini chocolate chips as garnish for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  • Swap Greek vanilla yogurt for plain yogurt with a touch of honey if you prefer less sweetness.
  • Serve with a variety of fresh fruits like strawberries, pineapple, grapes, and apple slices, or try dippers like pretzels and vanilla wafer cookies for contrast.

Storage

Store the fruit dip covered in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. It’s best served chilled and can be gently stirred before serving if it thickens. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture.

FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, this dip actually tastes better when chilled overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up perfectly.

What can I use if I don’t have marshmallow fluff?

You can substitute marshmallow cream or a similar sweet marshmallow spread, but avoid using mini marshmallows as they won’t blend as smoothly.

  • If you prefer a less sweet option, reduce or omit marshmallow fluff and add honey or maple syrup cautiously.
  • Serve with a variety of fresh fruits and crunchy dippers for a delightful contrast in textures.
