Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened – Adds richness and a smooth texture.
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff – Keeps the dip light and airy.
  • ½ cup powdered sugar – Sweetens and enhances the creamy consistency.

Citrus Flavor Boosters

  • Zest of 1 large orange – Provides fresh, natural citrus flavor.
  • ¼ cup orange juice – Adds tanginess and enhances the creamsicle taste.
  • ½ teaspoon orange extract (optional) – Intensifies the orange flavor.

Creamy & Light Texture

  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip) – Adds fluffiness and a smooth finish.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Complements the orange with a warm, sweet depth.

For Serving

  • Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit – Perfect dippers for a delightful treat.

Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients

Before you start, gather all your ingredients. Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure a smooth, lump-free dip.

2. Blend the Base

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
✅ Tip: Use an electric hand mixer for the best texture.

3. Add the Citrus Flavors

Stir in the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well combined. If you want a stronger orange taste, add ½ teaspoon of orange extract.
✅ Caution: Don’t overmix, or the dip can become too thin.

4. Fold in the Whipped Topping

Gently fold in the whipped topping (Cool Whip) to keep the dip light and airy. Avoid overmixing to maintain its fluffy texture.

5. Chill & Serve

Cover the dip and let it chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld for the perfect creamsicle taste!
