Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat or light)
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff
- 0.5 cup raspberry preserves or jam
- 1–2 drops red or pink food coloring, optional
- 4–6 cups assorted fresh fruit for dipping
Instructions
- Soften Cream Cheese: Ensure your 8 oz block of cream cheese is very soft, at room temperature for 5-10 minutes, so it whips up perfectly smooth without lumps.
- Whip Together: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This creates a visibly smooth, airy base.
- Fold in Fluff: Gently fold in the entire 7 oz marshmallow fluff with a spatula until just combined. Use a large rubber spatula and fold slowly to keep the mixture airy. Do not overmix; you want a cloud-like consistency.
- Ripple in Raspberry: Spoon in the 0.5 cup of raspberry preserves over the cream cheese mixture. Gently swirl with a knife or the back of a spoon to create distinct ripples. Add 1-2 drops of red or pink food coloring here if you want an extra vibrant effect.
- Chill Dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly to a spreadable consistency.
- Prepare Fruit & Serve: While the dip chills, wash and slice your favorite fresh fruit for dipping, like crisp apple slices or sweet strawberries. Arrange the fruit around the chilled dip on a large platter for a visually appealing, family-friendly healthy snack.
Notes
If your dip looks lumpy, the cream cheese wasn’t soft enough; beat it longer until smooth before adding the fluff. For a healthier twist, use light cream cheese and reduced-sugar raspberry preserves. A sprinkle of fresh raspberries makes a beautiful garnish.
