How to Make Creamy Marshmallow Dip From Cooking Light

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (8-ounce) package of reduced-fat cream cheese, softened; 1 (10-ounce) jar of marshmallow crème; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; and 1/4 cup of milk.
  2. Beat at low speed with an electric mixer until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of miniature marshmallows (optional, for added texture and sweetness).
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to chill completely. This also helps the dip to thicken.
  5. Serve chilled with an array of fresh fruits such as strawberries, seedless green grapes, mandarin orange segments, unpeeled apple chunks, and unsweetened pineapple chunks.
