Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese. If you can't find marshmallow cream, you can whip up some homemade marshmallow fluff with egg whites and sugar. To enhance the flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract. If you prefer a thicker dip, reduce the amount of peaches slightly or use less cream cheese.
