Easy fruit dip with Cool Whip

This rich and satisfying Cool Whip fruit dip is one of the easiest, quickest snacks you’ll ever make.

With just 2 ingredients and less than 5 minutes prep, it’s an absolute breeze to whip up.

I make it a few times every month because my family just can’t get enough!

My favorite fruits to serve with it are strawberries, peaches, and cherries, but just about any fruit will do.

I mean, it’s Cool Whip and cream cheese – what sweet fruit wouldn’t you eat with that?

Serve it chilled on a colorful fruit tray for a perfectly refreshing treat!

And if you need a veggie dip, this cottage cheese dip and chili cream cheese dip are my go-tos!

You’ll need only 2 ingredients to make this recipe, cream cheese and Cool Whip. Please see the recipe card below for exact measurements.

• Whipped cream cheese: This recipe calls for whipped cream cheese from a tub, not the brick style. While you can use plain (or even fat-reduced), I often use strawberry cream cheese spread or blueberry cream cheese to make the dip more flavorful.
• Cool Whip makes the fruit dip incredibly light, fluffy, and sweet. It creates a fluffier texture than marshmallow fluff, and that’s why we love it so much. Be sure to defrost your Cool Whip in the fridge before use. I usually do it overnight, but it should be ready after 4 to 5 hours.

Optional ingredients

• Vanilla: I don’t always add this, but 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract emphasizes the other flavors.
• Sweetener: I find Cool Whip provides enough sweetness. Still, feel free to add a little powdered sugar or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste.
• Beetroot powder: If you use strawberry cream cheese and want to accentuate the pink color, add a pinch of beet powder or red food coloring.

This easy fruit dip recipe with Cool Whip is always a hit with the family and at parties. Here’s how to make it:

1. Add ingredients

Place the cream cheese and Cool Whip into a large mixing bowl.

2. Mix until creamy

Using a whisk or a hand mixer, mix until the ingredients are well combined and you no longer see streaks of Cool Whip. Scarpe down the sides of the bowl as needed.

3. Serve

Transfer the dip into a serving bowl. Serve right away or refrigerate until ready to eat. Hand the dip with a selection of fruit slices and fresh berries. Enjoy!

Now that you have the basic Cool Whip fruit dip recipe down, let’s explore some yummy variations!

You want to use plain cream cheese for most of these variations since you’re adding other flavors.

• Different flavor extracts: Try adding lemon, almond, coconut, or mint extract to switch up the flavor profile.
• Chocolate: For a more decadent option, stir a handful of chocolate chips or 1 to 2 tablespoons cocoa powder into the Cool Whip fruit dip.
• Caramel: Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of caramel sauce on top of the dip for extra indulgence.
• Maraschino cherry juice: A splash of juice will sweeten the dip and create a pretty pink color.
• Orange: Stir in 2 tablespoons of orange juice concentrate for a bright, citrus flavor.
• Honey cinnamon: Mix in 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
• Pumpkin spice: Beat in 3 tablespoons canned pumpkin along with 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice. Alternatively, use 1 tsp cinnamon + 1/4 tsp ginger + 1/4 tsp nutmeg + a pinch of clove.

Cool Whip fruit dip works great for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or just as a quick fruit snack.

It’s always a crowd-pleaser and a great treat to make for parties, potlucks, and gatherings.

Any fruit you enjoy eating will taste delicious with this Cool Whip cream cheese fruit dip!

My favorite types of fruit to dip are strawberries, cherries, blueberries, and peaches.

It also goes well with apples, pears, pineapple, mango, blackberries, and many more.

You can serve it with other dippers such as cookies, cake cubes, graham crackers, shortbread, nilla wafers, or mini pretzels.

How to store Cool Whip fruit dip

Keep the fruit dip in an airtight container in the fridge, and it will last for up to 5 days.

Can I make Cool Whip fruit dip ahead of time?

Yes! I actually recommend making the Cool Whip dip at least an hour before serving so the flavors can meld together.

You can also prepare the dip up to 1 day in advance and store in the fridge.
