2 Ingredient Fruit Dip

Ok, so I have a confession to make: I love, love, love eating marshmallow fluff by the spoonfuls. Yes, straight out of the container. No need for peanut butter, although that makes a tasty treat too. My roommates have a running joke about my marshmallow obsession. One of my roommates may or may not have bought me marshmallow flavored vodka for Christmas. And I may or may not have had the biggest smile on my face when I opened it.


Since I've tried cutting back on my refined sugar intake, I've refrained from purchasing marshmallow fluff at the grocery store. This was difficult at first (I literally could not walk down that aisle), but now it's no longer apart of my routine. Just an occasional treat.


One such instance of an occasional treat was at a friend's apartment when she served this dip. I had no idea it had marshmallow fluff in it, but as soon as I tasted it I was in heaven. She explained to me how quick it is to make the dip, so obviously I've made it a few times for myself. It is so delicious and easy that I wanted to share this amazing fruit dip with y'all! I love it served with strawberries and apples, but it pairs well with almost any fresh fruit. Give this dip a try the next time you want to add some pizzazz to your fresh fruit.
