Method
 

  1. Add softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat until completely smooth and fluffy.
  2. Mix in marshmallow creme, vanilla, and optional powdered sugar until silky and evenly blended.
  3. Scrape the bowl and continue mixing until the texture looks light, creamy, and lump-free.

  5. Arrange fruit neatly on a tray around the dip for easy serving and assembly.

Notes

For a softer texture, serve immediately after mixing. For a thicker consistency, chill for 30 to 60 minutes. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 1 month and thaw overnight before serving. Keep ingredients cool during assembly for the smoothest finish. Customize flavor with cinnamon, citrus zest, honey, or cocoa powder. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
