  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Fruit

  • Red fruit (such as 1 cup strawberries)
  • Orange fruit (such as 1 cup oranges, peeled and segmented)
  • Yellow fruit (such as 1 cup pineapple chunks, mango slices, or banana slices)
  • Green fruit (such as 1 cup kiwi slices)
  • Blue fruit (such as 1 cup blueberries)
  • Purple fruit (such as 1 cup grapes)

Dip

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, full-fat, brick-style
  • 1 (7-ounce) container marshmallow creme
  • Juice of 1 clementine orange (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/16 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Soften Cream Cheese: Remove the cream cheese from its packaging and place it in a microwave-safe bowl or plate. Microwave for 15 seconds, then flip it over and microwave for an additional 10 to 15 seconds until softened but not melted. This ensures the cream cheese will blend smoothly with the marshmallow creme.
  2. Add Marshmallow Fluff: Transfer the softened cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer. Rinse a spoon under hot water, dry it thoroughly, then use it to scoop out the marshmallow creme from the container and add it to the cream cheese. Add the freshly squeezed clementine juice and fine sea salt. Mix at a steady speed—not whipping speed—until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Chill: Cover the prepared dip and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  4. Assemble the Fruit Rainbow: Wash all the fruits thoroughly and completely dry them to prevent the dip from slipping. On a large flat platter or plate, arrange the fruits in the order of the rainbow colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple arcs. Use enough fruit to create a vibrant and visible rainbow pattern.
  5. Add the Dip: Spoon the chilled marshmallow cream cheese dip at the bottom of the fruit rainbow in dollops to resemble clouds. Use the back of the spoon to create textured swirls for a cloud-like effect. Serve the tray promptly to maintain freshness and optimum dip texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened but not melted for best mixing results.
  • Ensure fruits are completely dry before assembling to prevent the dip from sliding.
  • You can substitute the clementine orange juice with regular orange juice if unavailable.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • This dip is best served the same day for freshness.
