What is Fruit Dip Made of?
Every dessert fruit dip is a little different. Mostly, they’re made with a base of softened cream cheese and sweetened with things like powdered sugar, marshmallow creme (aka Fluff), honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar.
I like to add a little cinnamon to mine for an extra kick of flavor. I’ve even seen some people add melted marshmallows or chocolate chips for an extra sugar rush.
There’s no wrong way to make a fruit dip, honestly. And truthfully, this one is SO MUCH better than the pre-made dips you can find in the grocery store fruit platters.
