Strawberry Fluff Fruit Dip [+ Video]

This strawberry fluff fruit dip is one of the first recipes I fell in love with as a kid and I still can’t get enough of it. All you need is two simple ingredients!

When I was a teenager, I had this marshmallow fluff dip for the first time and while I think it’s from Shannon Mattson —one of the sweetest, spunkiest and most tender hearted people I know — I could also be totally wrong. Either way, this easy fruit dip is pure heaven and I’ve got three kiddos over here licking their bowls clean in order to not miss out on a single bit.

And the very best part? It uses just two ingredients. Boo-yah. There’s literally nothing easier than buying two things at the store, whipping them together and serving with a platter of fruit. 

I’ve actually mentioned this a few times, but in case you are new on this blog, fruit and I are the best of friends. I’d actually take it over chocolate most of the time. Most of the time. (I mean, who could ever turn down a hot, homemade chocolate chip cookie?).

 

 

Strawberry Fluff Fruit Dip Ingredients

Like I said already, this is such an easy fruity dip recipe! To make this strawberry dip, you’ll need: 

  • Marshmallow Fluff – the jarred stuff you can buy at the store, Jet Puffed makes one called marshmallow creme. I’ve also heard you can buy strawberry flavored marshmallow cream, so if you can find that, go for it!!
  • Strawberry Cream Cheese – Philadelphia is my preferred brand, it’s a 7.5oz container

Seriously, that’s all it takes to make this incredible cream cheese dip! The exact measurements for each ingredient and instructions for the making the dip can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Fruit Dip 

This strawberry marshmallow dip is so simple to make I think it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare! Here’s how to make fruit dip: 

  1. Beat the marshmallow fluff and cream cheese together until smooth. 
  2. Spoon into a serving dish and serve alongside your choice of fruit. 

Couldn’t be easier, right?! My kind of appetizer! It would be so cute at a baby shower for a little baby girl! Or a bridal shower! It is always a hit!

 

What to Serve with Fruit Dip

This is one of those fruity dip recipes that works best with strawberries and bananas, but really any fruit will work. Think: apples, pineapple, or even peaches and pears.Read more

Glazed Orange Bundt Cake

Glazed Orange Bundt Cake

Fresh orange flavor is packed into every bite of this tender glazed orange bundt cake! We use fresh orange juice and zest in the cake, syrup and glaze for bold, bright bursts of refreshing orange flavor.

I have been testing and testing an orange bundt cake recipe in every way you could imagine; I’ve made it with butter, with oil, with sour cream, without sour cream, ricotta, whole oranges, orange zest, orange juice, different glazes and then list goes on. And this is finally the recipe of all recipes.

Listen, in extensive research I found so many people insisting that bakers make the cake with whole oranges and you know what? IT’S NOT THE BETTER WAY. I wanted it to be so bad, but it led to a more dense, heavy bundt cake.

And while yes, it technically wasn’t dry, it also wasn’t light and melt-in-your-mouth moist, so I’d rather have a cake dry out two days later than start out so heavy and not as orangey all due to that white pith holding me back.

What Ingredients Do I Need for Orange Bundt Cake?

This cake recipe is broken into 3 different parts — the cake, the syrup and the glaze. Plan on using about 10-12 oranges depending on how big and juicy they are for all the fresh juice, zest and peel you will need. Here are the ingredients for each part:

Cake:

  • Sugar: just regular granulated sugar
  • Orange Zest: You’ll need about 2 oranges to get the zest you need. Zest adds so much bold orange flavor and rubbing it with the sugar releases the natural oil in the zest to produce even more flavor.
  • Fresh Orange Juice:  You’ll need 6-8 oranges to get all this fresh orange juice. You could also buy a really high quality orange juice if you want to instead of juicing oranges. Make sure it doesn’t have added sugar or the cake will end up overly sweet.
  • Eggs: gives the cake structure
  • Vanilla: adds flavor
  • Almond Extract: adds flavor, if you aren’t an almond extract fan, just omit it
  • Vegetable Oil: all cakes must have fat, and oil keeps the cake nice and moist
  • Flour: just regular all purpose flour, and you’ll want to sift it into the batter
  • Baking Powder: leavening agent that helps the cake rise
  • Baking Soda: another leavening agent to help the cake rise and be fluffy
  • Salt: enhances all the flavors

Orange Simple Syrup

  • Oranges Peels: you’ll need the peel of 2 oranges and they add so much natural orange flavor to the syrup
  • Fresh Orange Juice: you’ll need 3-4 oranges for this step to get the juice you need
  • Water: the base of the simple syrup
  • Sugar: adds sweetness and thickens the syrup

Orange Glaze

  • Butter: unsalted and softened
  • Powdered Sugar: adds sweetness and thickens the glaze
  • He

White Chocolate Raspberry Blondie Recipe

White Chocolate Raspberry Blondie Recipe

I’m letting you in on a little secret for making a chewy, never dry, and always tender blondie recipe, and this one is loaded with raspberries and gooey white chocolate

The day we listed our home for sale I photographed our TO-DIE-FOR Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies and have not been able to stop dreaming about them ever since. Which made me wonder… if I’m in a hurry, could I make a blondies recipe instead?

 

Now, in the cookie recipe I really like to use straight butter so that it has that classic cookie texture and flavor, but in these blondies I’ve found a preference for the cream cheese addition as bars need more time to bake and tend to dry out a little more which the cream cheese totally solves that issue. That’s secret! Cream cheese!!

And this white chocolate blonde brownies situation has totally triggered my need to create the perfect classic blondies recipe again. I’ve searched for years and years but have always been so, so disappointed. Any tips or tricks that you all believe in for the perfect Blonde Brownies?

There’s something quite luscious about biting into a soft and chewy blonde brownie that has the perfect amount of raspberries dotted throughout and all with little nuggets of melty, dripping-from-your-lips-white-chocolate. But the real winner ended up being the addition of almond extract and the white chocolate drizzle. Do not skip either one or you’ll be lacking that little something in flavor and texture.

 

What Are Blondies?

A blondie (or a blonde brownie) is a rich, sweet bar cookie that is similar to a traditional chocolate brownie, but substitutes vanilla for the cocoa, and usually contains brown sugar. 

 

Ingredients for White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies

Here is your shopping list for these blonde brownies:

  • Butter – unsalted and softened
  • Brown Sugar – light
  • White Sugar – regular granulated
  • Cream Cheese – softened so it isn’t clumpy in the blondies
  • Egg – gives structure to the bars
  • Egg Yolk – add just a little extra richness and helps the bars be soft and chewy
  • Vanilla – flavor
  • Almond Extract – flavor
  • Flour – all purpose
  • Cornstarch – helps the blondies be crumbly but still tender
  • Baking Powder – leavening agent
  • Baking Soda – gives the blondies their rise and fluffiness
  • Salt – cuts the sweetness enhances all the flavors
  • White Chocolate Chips – we love Guittard or Ghiradelli brand chips
  • Dehydrated Raspberries – it’s important that they are dehydrated or freeze dried raspberries, they add real raspberry flavor without adding any extra moisture

Biscoff Snickerdoodle Cookie Explosion Cheesecake

Biscoff Snickerdoodle Cookie Explosion Cheesecake

Biscoff Snickerdoodle Cookie Explosion Cheesecake! Because why not combine three awesome things? Perfection!

But… it doesn’t taste like a snickerdoodle cookie, it tastes like a cheesecake with a graham cracker crust and cinnamon sugar. 

That’s what I kept saying as I tried recipe after recipe claiming to be the best snickerdoodle cheesecake all over Pinterest. I get it, a snickerdoodle is basically a plain cookie with a slight tang from the cream of tarter and that cinnamon sugar punch on the outside, so how can you really achieve that in a cheesecake?

Well, you play around a lot and end up with this beauty, Biscoff Snickerdoodle Cookie Explosion Cheesecake. Because why not take a simple cheesecake and make EXTRAORDINARY?! It’s like a cheesecake and Biscoff snickerdoodle exploded in your mouth.

We needed something to really bring that cinnamon sugar cookie taste so we scratched the mere dredging of cinnamon sugar all over the top and went for a streusel instead. Instant cookie oomph.
