Frequently Asked Questions

What other flavors can you add to marshmallow and cream cheese fruit dip?

There are SO many different flavors you can incorporate in this delightful dip!

• A pinch of cinnamon or apple pie spice is great for the fall and winter holidays.
• Mix in a 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips for a chocolatey treat.
• Swap the lemon zest and vanilla extract for orange zest and orange or pineapple juice for a bright, tropical flavor.

Can you freeze cream cheese fruit dip?

While you technically can freeze the dip for up to a month or so, I don’t recommend that you actually do it. Freezing will change the texture and make the dip a little grainy.

How long does fruit dip last in the fridge?

Cream cheese dip will keep well for up to a week in the refrigerator. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or transfer it to a container with a lid before storing it in the fridge.

Give it a stir before serving cold.
