This Creamy Strawberry Fruit Dip made with cream cheese, cool whip and strawberries. It is simple, quick, and yet SO GOOD! With all the summer barbecues coming our way and potluck meals, life is always moving, but we never have enough time to make something classic and homemade.

Any fruit combo under the sun would work. Anything cut up and in-season is fair game. Sweet, whippy, and impossibly creamy, this fruit dip is unlike anything – EVER. And I really mean it.
My kids love this recipe and I dare say finger-licking good. I feel as if they could totally skip the fruit and grab a spoon and go to town.

You could prepare an enormous bowl or tray of fruit to pair with the dip or make super-cute fruit kabobs for dunking. Either way, you do it will be yummy!
Time to Make the Dip
Please note that a full list of ingredients as well as printable recipe card is listed below.
The first thing is first, you are going to want to crush up your fresh strawberries. You can often substitute for frozen strawberries. I have done this in the past. Just make sure you let them sit out on the counter until completely defrost, then crush.
Next, you will want to whip your cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Now you are ready to add in cool whip; Make sure you fold in until incorporated. Then add your crushed strawberries, extract and blend until smooth.
It is okay to lick the beaters. This is the best part. I can remember doing this when I was a kid. Now I let my kids do it all the time.
Lastly, cut up some fresh Tropical fruit and serve with the dip. HECK! Just grab a spoon and enjoy without the fruit. I won’t tell.
You can’t really go wrong with this super simple creamy strawberry fruit dip. Hello Summer!

Fruit Dip Variations
While this is the one and only fruit dip I have ever made because it’s delicious and addicting. I like to adhere to the whole, “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it” mentality. But there are approximately a billion and one other ways you can make fruit dip.
- Swap out strawberries for any kind of berry.
- Can substitute plain cream cheese for a fruit-flavored one.
- Instead of using coconut extract, try almond or vanilla extract.

Fruit Tray Ideas
It’s time to select our fruits for dipping! The good news is that you can rarely go wrong! However, I do suggest staying away from bananas. They just get mushy if not served immediately. I have listed some of our favorites below. But really, the list is endless.
- Strawberries
- Peel orange slices
- Blueberries
- Pineapple
- Watermelon
- Apple slices (toss with pineapple or lemon juice to keep from browning!)
- Red grapes
- Cantaloupe
- Kiwi
