Prepare the Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature. This step is crucial for achieving a smooth, lump-free dip. Place the softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl.

Beat the Cream Cheese: Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until it is completely smooth and fluffy (about 1 to 2 minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Incorporate the Marshmallow Fluff: Add the entire jar of Marshmallow Fluff and the vanilla extract to the bowl.

Combine Ingredients: Continue mixing on medium speed until the marshmallow fluff and cream cheese are fully combined and the mixture is light, airy, and uniform in texture. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes.

Adjust Sweetness and Consistency (Optional Steps): If desired, add the sifted powdered sugar now for extra sweetness and mix until just combined. If the dip seems too thick, add milk or heavy cream (one tablespoon at a time) until the desired dipping consistency is reached.

Chill the Dip: Transfer the finished dip into a serving bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.

Serve: Serve the Marshmallow Cream Cheese Fruit Dip cold alongside your prepared fresh fruits, ensuring any sliced apples have been treated with lemon juice to prevent browning.
