Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the marshmallow creme, softened cream cheese, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Serve immediately with fruit or other dippables.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother dip, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. If you don't have nutmeg, you can substitute with allspice or a pinch of ground cloves. For a lighter option, consider using Greek yogurt in place of cream cheese. This dip is versatile, and you can adjust the spices according to your taste preferences. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruits like strawberries and apples.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dip immediately for the best flavor and texture. It pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit, graham crackers, or pretzels. For a fun twist, try it with mini marshmallows or chocolate chips sprinkled on top. You could also serve it alongside a dessert platter featuring items like Teresa'S Cake for a delightful treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve again, allow it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes, stirring well to restore its creamy texture. If it seems too thick, you can mix in a teaspoon of milk or yogurt to loosen it.
