I'm looking for a good, easy fruit dip recipe. I've heard of yogurt/cool whip type things but I don't know how to do it or the ratios of coolwhilp to yogurt. What is your favorite recipe? I've got a family reunion on Sat and I'm supposed to bring a fruit dip for bananas, apples, melons, strawberries etc.
Thanks!

So What Happened?

I guess I am the only one who never heard of the marshmellow fluff and cream cheese. It sounds great. I got strawberry cream cheese and cool whip. I told my husband that so many of you suggested the marshmellow crm cheese mixture and his response, "Oh, I've heard of that!" :)
Thanks, I'm sure it will be a hit tomorrow.

I too have done the marshmallow fluff and cream cheese. Also, no lemon juice but add (to taste depending on how much you like) pumpkin pie spice.

I agree with everyone else who said cream cheese and marshmallow fluff. This one really goes best with apples, but you might like to have it for future parties or if you don't mind making an extra dip for this party. You take a block of cream cheese That's been sitting out and is nice and soft, a tub of pre-made caramel dip (usually sold by the apples in the produce section) and mix it together really well. Then you take a few Heath candy bars and break them up to tiny pieces. Sometimes you can get lucky and fit Heath bits where the choc. chips are, but that's usually only during holidays. I mix some into the dip itself and then sprinkle some on top of the dip. EVERYBODY LOVES this! My friend calls it crack, because it's so addicting. I made it for a baby shower and people stood around it and just keep eating it! Remember to put some lemon juice on the apples so they don't turn brown or only cut a few at a time as the party goes a long.

I know this is too late for your party on Sat. but there's another variation to the cream cheese/fluff dip. I sell Tastefully Simple and we have a product called Sweet Strawberry Chesseball. You can make it with just cream cheese or what I do is add the marshmallow fluff to all that. I've served that at several get togethers lately and people went nuts over that also. I also put a little on top of some brownies and served graham cracker sticks with it for the kiddos! DELICIOUS! If you're interested in ordering some let me know! ____@____.com or www.tastefullysimple.com/web/jcrowley1 Hope all this helps!

My favorite is really easy. One large package of cream cheese softened. One jar of marshmellow cream. And one container of cool whip(reg. size). Mix together with a spoon and serve. You can also add a little marchino cherry juice for color to make it look as yummy as it tastes.

My favorite is a jar of marshmellow creme mixed with a tub of cool whip. It's very light and sweet and goes with ALL fruits. I usually empty out a halved fresh pineapple and put it in that (or you could do a halved cantelope) - so it looks really nice too.

If you'd prefer to go healthier and less processed than the other recipes, try mixing peanut butter with vanilla yogurt. My toddler absolute loves it with apples and bananas.

Start with half yogurt and half cool-whip and then adjust from there. I do this all the time and it all depends on the flavor of the yogurt and the brand you use. I usually use strawberry the most.

1 block cream cheese (let it soften on the counter for a while)
1 jar marshmello cream

just mix it up really good and put it in a serving bowl. Its YUMMY and not healthy in any way =0)
