Recently, this dip was served that many people raved about (I did not try it) including some family members. I went online and checked my cookbooks and found many different versions. I decided to go with a recipe from Taste Of Home which I adapted to my taste (healthier). I did use a lower fat product for the cream cheese and Cool Whip; see comment below also. One nephew said my recipe was better!
Strawberry Fruit Dip Two Ways
- 1 (8 oz.) carton spreadable strawberry cream cheese
- 2 heaping tbsp. strawberry preserves (I prefer jelly)
- 1 (8 oz.) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip)
- 1 jar (7 oz.) marshmellow crème
- fresh fruit such as strawberries, pineapple and so on
In a medium size bowl beat the cream cheese and preserves until blended. Fold in the thawed whipped topping and marshmallow crème. Refrigerate until serving.
Comment: You can change the flavor of this dip; you could use a couple tbsp. of orange juice concentrate, thawed instead of the strawberry preserves. There are also many varieties of cream cheese such as chocolate, blueberry or pineapple.

I just found my recipe that I use to serve with fresh strawberries. I have many recipes in other files that I have yet to post on this blog and this is one of them (6-6-13).
