- 1 tbsp (15 mL) frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp (1.25 g) kosher salt
- Fresh fruit
Instructions
- Preparation: Unwrap cream cheese and let it soften at room temperature in a large mixing bowl.
- Blending: Combine cream cheese with marshmallow creme, orange juice concentrate, vanilla extract, and kosher salt.

- Serving: Transfer the luscious dip to a decorative serving bowl, presenting it alongside an assortment of fresh fruit slices for an irresistible appetizer or dessert companion.
Notes
- Soften Cream Cheese Strategically: Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature for 30-45 minutes before mixing to ensure smooth, lump-free texture without over-warming.
- Balance Sweetness Carefully: Adjust orange juice concentrate based on personal preference, understanding it intensifies the citrus profile and overall sweetness.
- Mixer Technique Matters: Use paddle attachment on medium speed to prevent air incorporation, maintaining a dense and creamy consistency.
- Storage Wisdom: Refrigerate immediately after preparation and consume within 3-4 days for optimal flavor and food safety.
