Growing up I used to love helping out in the kitchen. In fact, I proudly called myself a “Good Cooker.” I like to think my “good cooker” abilities are genetic thanks to both of my parents and my grandparents. As a little girl, I remember often having this amazing marshmallow fluff fruit dip. In developing my “good cooker” skills, I became an assistant fruit dip maker to my Mom and learned that it was actually my Nana’s recipe we were whipping up.
Ingredients:
1 8oz Package of Cream Cheese (at room temperature)
1 7.5oz Jar of Marshmallow Fluff
3/4 cup of Currants
Variety of cut fruit for dipping
Directions:
Combine cream cheese and marshmallow fluff in a large mixing bowl. You can either use an hand mixer or a wooden spoon. There may be some small lumps in the mix, but overall it should look smooth and creamy.
Add in the currants and using a rubber spatula, fold the currants into the mix until incorporated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate. The dip should be served cold and will need to be in the refrigerator for no less than two hours prior to serving.
Prior to serving, prepare the fruits (apples, berries, melon, etc.)
*Amount of Currants is approximate and can be adjusted to taste or left out entirely. Currants can also be replaced with Raisins, Golden Raisins, or Craisins. To save time, it is easier to mix if you use a tub of whipped cream cheese. Make sure to store the dip in an air tight container in the refrigerator. I suggest a glass or plastic bowl with a lid.
Love the recipe and post!
I like it with strawberrys and pineapple slices
