Caramel Cream Cheese Fruit Dip
This is the easiest fruit dip recipe ever!
This recipe is a favorite that came about by accident! Who doesn’t love when that happens?! One day I was hosting a baby shower and had bought all the fresh fruit for my favorite fruit dip which was made with cream cheese and marshmallow creme. I had all the fruit prepped and was ready to make my dip, however, when I went to my pantry to find the marshmallow creme, I discovered I did not have any! I hadn’t checked in the pantry to make sure I had some before I went to the store and I didn’t have time to go to the store again.
As I sat there and tried to figure out what I was going to do, I thought, what else goes good with cream cheese……something sweet always goes good with cream cheese right?! I quickly started looking around my pantry for something sweet to supplement my cream cheese. I saw my container of caramel apple dip and decided to throw it into the mixer with the cream cheese and BAM! My own version of fruit dip was born, and I now have the Easiest Fruit Dip Recipe!
Some of my best recipes have come from situations just like this! Whenever you’re cooking or baking and realize you’re missing an ingredient, brainstorm and find what might work as a replacement. You might end up with some interesting mixtures, but occasionally you’ll find a gem like this!
This fruit dip turned out amazing and everyone loved it! Most of the guests asked for seconds. That was ten or more years ago and it has been a hit ever since! I love how easy and delicious it is!
This dip is perfect for your summer BBQs and entertaining, you can simply buy whatever seasonal fruit is available and serve it on a platter with this dip, and your guests will all be impressed!

Ingredients
- 16 oz regular cream cheese (2 8oz packages) softened
- 1 container caramel apple fruit dip
Instructions
- In a stand mixer or a bowl using a hand mixer, add 16 oz regular cream cheese (2 8oz packages) and 1 container caramel apple fruit dip16 oz regular cream cheese (2 8oz packages), 1 container caramel apple fruit dip
- Mix cream cheese and caramel dip until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the mixer and mix for another minute or so. You don't want lumps of cream cheese. It should be smooth.
- Do not use a lower fat or lower sugar version of either ingredient or it won't turn out right.
- Serve with cut-up fresh fruit. My personal favorites are strawberries, apples, grapes, and bananas. To keep bananas and apples from turning brown, you can toss them in lemon juice.
Enjoy!
