Easy Fruit Dip

(8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

marshmallow creme

maraschino cherry juice

Place cream cheese and marshmallow cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Place in microwave and cook on medium-high for 20 seconds increments, until softened.


Stir cherry juice into the cream cheese and marshmallow creme mixture. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.


We had a "dip party" at work today, so yesterday I scanned this site for fruit dip recipes. I made this recipe, one that is exactly the same, but with orange juice instead of cherry juice, and one with sweetened condensed milk instead of the marshmallow creme and with lemon juice.  By far, the cherry was the most flavorful and most attractive.  The orange was a nice alternative, but the lemon left a lot to be desired.  In the future, I will use the cream cheese and marshmallow creme as a base and simply try different juices.  I used the actual fruits (cherries, an orange slice, and a lemon slice) to adorn the dip so that the party-goers knew what flavor they were dipping their fruits into.  This is also a great recipe to have one's children help make. Oh, and warming the cream cheese and the marshmallow creme before mixing made all the difference.  Enjoy!

I am truly not a fruit dip fan but I wanted to come up with some new ideas to add pizazz to my sons lunchbox.  I halved the recipe thinking he would probably just nibble on it and not really make a dent in the concotion.  Can I be the first day say I pretty much consumed the whole batch myself and sent my son off to school with a little container of it.  This stuff was SO delicious.  I had mine with strawberries and my son had his with apples.  I had to add a lot more of the cherry syrup because I wanted the pinkish color and a slight cherry flavor. This was a hit with my family!  Especially with me for its easy prep and delicious results!  Thank you so much Natalie!!

Sinfully delicious!  A great excuse to eat Fluff!  I added a container of raspberry yogurt since I didn't have cherry juice. I also whipped the cream cheese in my mixer and heated the marshmallow alone for 20 seconds in the microwave.  Then poured it into the mixer too.  I couldn't see heating the cream cheese.

I too added cool whip. I can eat this with a spoon for a meal! Great w/strawberries.

DELISH!  I tried 3 different fruit dips and this was the favorite.  I did add a few drops of red food coloring to make a nice pink color.  It is very sweet.  We ate it room temperature and after it was in the fridge.  I think I like it better cold but either way its very good with fresh fruit and/or pound cake.

This recipe helped my kids get started. They wanted to try and make something to surprise me one day and remembered I had made fruit dip last summer. My son knew I had looked on the Internet for recipes and found your Web page. He copied it down and immediately started to make it. After taste-testing it, he stated that something was missing. He added a container of Cool Whip! Though they had good intentions of making this a surprise for Mom, it was almost gone before I could taste any! This is a great way to get fussy teens to eat fruit! I got to lick the bowl!! Thanks for the recipe.

This is an easy and great tasting recipe to make. I use to buy the already made fruit dips in the grocery store but not anymore. This one's a keeper!

This was a tasty dip to use with strawberries, bagels, grapes, etc.. My kids loved it, and it was easy to make.

We have been making this fruit dip since I was a kid, I am in my 40's now...lol.  The bowl always gets licked clean.  Great on all fruit but especially cantelope, watermelon and strawberries...I think I will go make some now.  Thanks.

This is a wonderful dip.  The cream cheese takes away the super sweetness of the marshmellow creme, but is still sweet enough to be great.  I have made it without the cherry juice, and it is still delicious over fresh fruit.

This is great "Stuff".  It is Super Bowl Sunday and I made the fruit dip early so it would have time to chill.  And like any over grown kid I ran my finger in the bowl (just to taste) and was amazed at how great it is.  Thank you for a recipe that is easy and taste wonderful!

I used strawberry extract vs. cherry juice.

very good and very easy--I made a lot though--wondering if it will freeze ok....

As written, this was just OK for me. I  tried it after I mixed it up and I thought it was too sweet and a little flat. I added some vanilla yogurt to cut the sweetness and a couple tablespoons of OJ concentrate to add some depth of flavor. It was delicious after that!

As is this recipe is easy and delicious!  To change the flavor a little, on my second attempt at making this, I added 4 pureed maraschino cherries and 2 tbsp. of raspberry puree!  So, so good!

I have been making this fruit dip for years  Instead of using cherry juice, I use two or three 
tablespoons of grenadine.

Very sweet fruit dip, I wanted to make it less thick and not quite so sweet, I added plain low fat yogert. Wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for.

What an amazing recipe and so easy to make!

You can sub in two tablespoons of orange juice concentrate for the cherry juice, which gives this dip a nice flavor.

Easy an delicious!!!!!!!!!! I have made it several times in the last month.  It has become quite a hit and my kids love it.

I make this all the time.  Like to put on bagels too.  I put a little unflavored kool-aid in for different flavors.  Make easy to change flavors

This is one recipe that tastes so much better the next day so make it a day or two ahead of time. Its a great dip to get your kids to eat fruits.  I used light cream cheese and give them a few teaspoons of it with a cut up fruit.

Easy, quick and only 3 ingredients!!  What could be better?  Everyone who tried it, loved it--even my younger sister, who doesn't like cream cheese!!

I don't like this recipe. I thought it would be good but its not good with any thing. Wont be making this again.

super easy to make and my guests loved it. I served it with fruit and pound cake. The pound cake was the best with it. I did add 3 tablespoons of the cherry juice for flavor and color.

This dip was delicious with fresh fruit!  We had family over for a BBQ and served the fresh fruit with the dip for dessert.  Makes a nice dessert that isn't too heavy.  It makes a lot.  I added a lot more cherry juice than stated because it barely even made it pink.  Next time I'll add a bit of red food coloring.

Everyone in my family absolutely loves this dip.  I let the cream cheese sit out on the counter until it softens. Using a stand mixer really blends the ingredients well.  I always add more cherry juice to make the color brighter and give it more of a cherry flavor. 

I've made this recipe several times. I've made as is and also used strawberry cream cheese. It is the most amazing fruit dip you'll ever make.  Always a winner!

I was looking for a recipe when my daughter got married in April2000, wish I had known this website then!

OMG, what is not to love about this!  So good!!

This was very good even using only 8oz. of the marshmallow creme.

This was a huge hit at my daughter's 4th birthday party this weekend.  I did use orange juice instead of the recommended, but everyone just raved about it.  Almost every person at the party has already asked for the recipe for it.

I couldnt believe how easy this dip was and how delicious it tasted.  Great with every type of fruit and good with pound cake and angel food cake.

I have made this using different flavorings,
including my favorite liquors

I just made this and it is wonderful! I have to tell you though- I call it finger dip because you don't have to have anything but your finger to dip in it!

Easy. Tastes Fantastic! Love. love. love!!

This is a great dip.  I made exactly as stated and decided to add a little more cherry juice to bring out the flavor a little more.  I also took some and added a splash of almond extract and I thought that made it even better.  I served it with sliced apples and strawberries.

This is available whenever I buy my weekly fruit.  Kid's love it.  Added a little green food coloring for alien dip.  The marishino juice is great as well.  We also like it plain.  Great addition to make fuit more appealing to the kids!  Thanks

Great Recipe, especially if you need to whip up something great in a hurry.

This was a big hit this Xmas. I used two tablespoons of cherry juice and that was plenty of flavor.

This was very good and hit with everyone at our house.  I also tried a half and half mix of cream cheese and marshmallow.  This was also a hit and most couldn't tell the difference the ones who could preferred the half and half mix.  

This is a great tasting fruit dip...I could eat it with a spoon! Will definitely be making this again.

Very good, and that's warm before we chilled it! I screwed up and used too much cream cheese (2 blocks), but it doesn't seem to matter, it's still really sweet.  Cant wait til tomorrow's cookout, I think everyone will love this one! Thank you!

Quick, easy and delicious.  I added a little more (about 1 more tbl) cherry juice to make it a little more favorful.  It is especially great with oranges!

This was wonderful &amp; easy. Even my father liked it. Next time I'll halve it. I had so much left over.

This was okay. Definitely simple but I was looking for a fluffier fruit dip. We'll eat it but I probably won't make it again.

Always a family/friend favorite. Very delicious.

Cannot keep out in the heat. It bubbles up out of bowl.

Just as good and easy....Strawberry soft cream cheese and fluff.

This was a good dip.  Different with the cherry juice.  Everyone enjoyed it.

I made this for our 4th of July party and everyone loved it !!   This is exactly what I was looking for ... thank you !!

Wow its much better than I expected and so simple to make!

Always a crowd pleaser.  I used a little more juice than called for in the recipe.

I tried this recipe for the first time this past weekend for 4th of July and it was a hit!! It was great and the guests and kids loved it! It couldn't be easier. Thanks!

Good and very easy to make. This one is a keeper!

My family loved this. I thought it was too sweet, so next time I will not use as much marshmallow. Mine did not come out very pink, so next time I will also use a bit of pink food coloring paste. Thank you for the recipe. 

This stuff is addictive!!!!
I also made with fresh orange juice in place of cherry juice, both are delicious!  

I liked it, but to my surprise my kids thought it was just ok and did not have very much of it. Probably will not make again.

Was very easy to make, although a bit to sweet for me.  I used strawberry cream cheese - next time I would try plain cream cheese, less Marshmallow cream, and try the cherry juice.  Will definitely make again.

This is really good! I would add a little more cherry juice though. The cherry juice taste didn't come through enough for me with just the 1 Tbs. It still was good though!

This was very easy and delicious. I put in an extra tbsp of cherry juice as mentioned in other review(s). THE KIDS LOVED IT, as well as adults. There was none left. Great with pineapple. Thanks for the recipe.

A little too marshmallowy, but overall ok

This was delicious, sweet and simple to make! I served it with pineapple slices and red grapes but strawberries or any easily served fruit would go equally as well with this dip!

It was all-right, nothing to rave about...

It doesn't get any easier or better than this!

I made it with 7 ounces of marshmallow creme (instead of the 16) and it was very tasty.  It's going in my "keep" binder for sure.
