Fruit Rainbow Tray Ingredients
The fruit dip makes up the “clouds” on this Fruit Rainbow Tray. Here’s what makes up this dip:
- Cream Cheese: Use full-fat, brick-style (we prefer Philadelphia®) for best results.
- Marshmallow Fluff: Grab high-quality (Kraft® Jet-Puffed recommended).
- Citrus Juice: A dash to improve flavor; clementine, orange, lime, or lemon.
- Pinch of Salt: To balance sweetness and enhance flavors.

How to Make The Fruit Dip
- Soften Cream Cheese: Microwave for 15 seconds, flip, then another 10-15 seconds until soft, not melted.
- Beat Cream Cheese: Beat in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add Marshmallow Fluff: Run spoon under hot water, then beat fluff and cream cheese together.
- Add Flavorings: Mix in citrus juice and a pinch of salt.
Quick Tip
Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavor.
