Essential equipment: Use a rubber spatula for gentle folding to keep the dip light and airy.

Room‑temperature tip: Let your cream cheese sit out for at least 20 minutes so it blends smoothly with the marshmallow crème.

Sweetness adjustment: Start with 2 tbsp honey, then taste. Add more honey or a splash of maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.

Chill time: Chilling at least 30 minutes helps the flavors meld and the dip firm up. For best texture, don’t skip this step.

Fruit prep: Pat fruit dry with a paper towel before dipping to prevent the dip from becoming watery.

Make‑ahead hack: You can prepare the dip up to 24 hours in advance—just give it a quick stir before serving.

Texture trick: If your dip is too thick after chilling, stir in 1 tsp milk or cream to loosen it.

Common mistake to avoid: Overmixing can deflate the marshmallow fluff; fold gently until streaks disappear.

Scaling: This recipe doubles easily, just use a larger bowl and mix at low speed or by hand.

Flavor pairing idea: Garnish with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh mint or a drizzle of extra honey right before serving.
