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.

Storing Fruit Rainbow Tray

Store leftover fruit in separate airtight containers in the fridge for 1-2 days to avoid flavor mixing. Keep the dip in its own container for a few days, stir well before reuse, and thin with citrus juice if too thick.
