Main Ingredients:
- 7.5 ounces (212 grams) strawberry cream cheese, softened
- 7.5 ounces (212 grams) marshmallow fluff
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish and Optional Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 4–5 drops red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Remove cream cheese from refrigerator and let it soften naturally at ambient temperature for approximately 60 minutes, ensuring a smooth and spreadable consistency.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, tangy sour cream, golden honey, pure vanilla extract, fragrant lemon zest, and optional food coloring.
- Using an electric mixer or whisk, blend the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture achieves a uniform, silky texture with no visible lumps.
- Gently incorporate marshmallow fluff into the mixture, carefully folding to maintain its light and airy composition without deflating the delicate structure.
- Transfer the fruit dip into a sealed container, ensuring minimal air exposure to preserve freshness and prevent oxidation.
- Chill the prepared dip in the refrigerator for 60 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the texture to set, or store for up to 48 hours before serving.
- When ready to serve, place the chilled dip in a decorative serving bowl, accompanied by an assortment of fresh seasonal fruits, crisp pretzels, or delicate cookies for dipping.
