How to make Lemon Cream Cheese Fruit 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 pot lucks 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 in this Lemon Cream Cheese Fruit Dip

This recipe only takes 4 ingredients:

  • 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 creme – you can find this on the baking aisle of most grocery stores.
  • 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 I’m making a fruit tray, here are the fruits I love to serve with the dip:

  • apples
  • bananas
  • strawberries
  • pineapple
  • peaches
  • grapes
  • blackberries
  • raspberries
