Marshmallow Fruit Dip: Creamy 3 Ingredient Recipe in 5 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Place the 8 oz (226g) of softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer on medium high speed, beat for 2 minutes. Note: You are looking for a glossy, voluminous texture here.
2. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula to ensure no cold spots remain.
3. Reduce the mixer speed to low to avoid a fluff explosion and add the entire 7 oz (198g) jar of marshmallow fluff.
4. Pour in the 1 tsp (5ml) of pure vanilla extract at this stage.
5. If you are using the optional 1/2 tsp (1g) of zest or the pinch of salt, add them to the bowl now.
6. Increase the mixer speed back to medium and whip the mixture for another 60-90 seconds. Stop once the color is a uniform, snowy white and it holds soft peaks.
7. Give the mixture one final fold with your spatula to make sure the fluff is fully integrated into the base.
8. Transfer the mixture to your favorite serving bowl.
9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This is crucial because it allows the lipid structure to firm up so the dip doesn't slide off your fruit.
10. Serve cold with a variety of fresh dippers like sliced apples, strawberries, or even pretzels.
