Make this creamy fruit dip using simple ingredients. This recipe skips marshmallow fluff and Cool Whip, delivering a sweet, rich dip perfect for your next party or fruit platter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for thinning)

Instructions

  1. Place the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Beat the ingredients together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. If the dip seems too thick for your preference, add the heavy cream one tablespoon at a time, mixing until you reach your desired consistency. This dip tastes best when slightly thinner.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
  5. Serve immediately with fresh fruit like apples, strawberries, or grapes, or chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • This dip tastes similar to caramel when paired with apples.
  • For a tangier flavor, substitute 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of sour cream.
  • Prepare this easy fruit dip recipe up to two days ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator.
