About the Recipe

When we were growing up, there was a signature fruit dip recipe that our family would always make for all the big party occasions like New Year's Eve and Fourth of July. It had cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, and loads of sugar. With all the mouth-watering fresh fruit available in Columbia this summer, we were looking for a little extra something to put with our fruit — and whipped up this sweet summer treat.

What's summer without a sweet fruit treat? Check out the why behind our key ingredients:
