The easiest cream cheese fruit dip, this Lemon Cream Cheese Fruit Dip has marshmallow creme and cream cheese, plus lemon yogurt to give it the best lemon flavor.
Dips don’t have to be savory! This cream cheese fruit dip is highly requested at our house, as well as this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip, this Peanut Butter and Jelly Dip, and this Caramel Apple Dip.
I love a good fruit dip. We eat a lot of fruit at our house, and 98% of the time, it’s regular, raw fruit. By itself. But a little while ago, I broke this recipe out again and made it and you would have thought that I was giving each of my children a $100 bill by their reactions. They ate the entire tray of fruit dipped in this fruit dip, and then begged for more fruit so they could keep dipping.
That’s pretty much the reaction from adults when you take this to potlucks or parties, too. Eyes light up, and everyone darts for the appetizer table. It’s a good thing this Lemon Cream Cheese Fruit Dip is so easy to whip up!
Ingredients
This recipe only takes 4 simple ingredients to make this easy fruit dip recipe:
- one container of lemon yogurt – I think this recipe would technically work with any flavor, but I have only ever tried lemon. But if you do change the yogurt flavor, I would leave out the zest. Unless the zest compliments your yogurt flavor!
- marshmallow cream – you can find this on the baking aisle of most grocery stores. You can also use marshmallow fluff.
- Whipped Cream Cheese – You can find this by the normal cream cheese – it should be pretty easy to find.
- Lemon Zest – If you have a microplane, it makes this much easier!
What Fruit Goes With Fruit Dip?
When making a fruit tray, make sure to use your favorite fruit. Here are the fruits I love to serve with the dip:
- apples
- bananas
- strawberries
- pineapple
- peaches
- grapes
- blackberries
- kiwi
- raspberries
That being said, you can even serve this with small cookies, like vanilla wafers or graham crackers. Or even with cubes of pound cake. It’s so good – it goes with everything!
Tips and Tricks
You can serve this right away, but I like to make it at least an hour ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator for a bit before serving.
One thing I love about this recipe is that it uses whipped cream cheese, so no need to bring it to room temperature!
If you do make it ahead of time, keep it covered and refrigerated. You can also keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
All you really need for this recipe is a mixer – I just use my hand mixer. This recipe really does come together easily! You can whisk it by hand, but it is much easier to get it smooth with a hand mixer.
