Fluffernutter Dip is the three-ingredient sweet dip that turns peanut butter and marshmallow fluff into the easiest crowd-pleaser at any party, and my girls beg for it with a pile of strawberries and graham crackers. I whip it up in five minutes flat whenever we need a last-minute treat, the same no-fuss magic as our cream cheese fruit dip.
Just cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, and peanut butter whipped into a light, sweet dip that tastes like a fluffernutter sandwich in scoopable form.

Why This Recipe Works
Click to see the technique science
- Cream cheese balances the sweet. It adds a tangy richness that keeps the marshmallow and peanut butter from being cloying, so the dip tastes balanced instead of just sugary.
- Beat the cream cheese first. Whipping it smooth before adding anything else means no lumps in the finished dip, just a silky, creamy base.
- Marshmallow fluff, not creme. Fluff whips up lighter and airier than thick marshmallow creme, giving the dip its signature cloud-like texture.
- Whip the peanut butter in last. Adding it at the end keeps the dip light and prevents it from getting dense or greasy as it mixes.
- Room-temperature ingredients blend best. Softened cream cheese and peanut butter at room temp whip together smoothly with no streaks.
- Three ingredients, endless dippers. The simple base is a blank canvas for whatever you have on hand, from fruit to cookies to pretzels.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Three ingredients, five minutes. No baking, no cooking, barely any cleanup. Just whip, scoop, and serve the easiest party dip there is.
- The taste of a fluffernutter sandwich. All the nostalgic peanut butter and marshmallow flavor you loved as a kid, in a creamy, scoopable dip.
- A guaranteed party hit. Sweet, creamy, and fun, it disappears next to a tray of cream cheese fruit dip at every gathering.
Key Ingredients
Just three simple ingredients make this crave-worthy fluffernutter dip. Quantities are in the recipe card below; here is why each one matters.
- Cream cheese. The creamy, tangy base that gives the dip body and keeps it from being too sweet. Use full-fat blocks softened to room temperature for the smoothest whip.
- Marshmallow fluff. The sweet, airy magic that makes this taste like a fluffernutter. Fluff whips lighter than thick marshmallow creme, so reach for the jar of fluff for the best cloud-like texture.
- Peanut butter. The nutty richness that ties it all together. Creamy, no-stir peanut butter blends smoothest, and a natural one works too, just give it a good stir first so it whips in evenly.
See recipe card for exact quantities.
Variations and Substitutions
This fluffernutter dip is easy to switch up for any craving.
- Make it chocolate. Swap the peanut butter for chocolate hazelnut spread, or swirl in mini chocolate chips for a candy-bar twist.
- Try a different nut butter. Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter all work for a nut-free or different-flavored dip.
- Add crunch. Fold in chopped peanuts, crushed pretzels, or mini chocolate chips for texture and a salty-sweet contrast.
- Lighten it up. Use light cream cheese and a powdered peanut butter mixed with a little water for a lighter version.
- Make it a fruit dip. Thin it with a splash of milk or a spoonful of whipped topping for a softer, dippable consistency, just like our cream cheese fruit dip.
How to Make Fluffernutter Dip
- Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Add the marshmallow fluff and mix until combined.
- Add the peanut butter and whip until thoroughly combined and fluffy.
- Scrape into a serving bowl and serve with your favorite dippers, or chill until ready to serve.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Soften the cream cheese fully. Room-temperature cream cheese whips up smooth and lump-free. Cold cream cheese leaves streaks no amount of mixing will fix.
- Use a hand or stand mixer. A mixer whips air into the dip for that light, fluffy texture. Stirring by hand makes it dense.
- Add the peanut butter last. Whipping it in at the end keeps the dip airy and prevents it from getting heavy or greasy.
- Taste and adjust. Want it sweeter? Add a little more fluff. More nutty? Add a spoonful more peanut butter. It is very forgiving.
- Serve it slightly chilled. A little time in the fridge firms it up just enough for easy scooping, but it is great right away too.
- Set out lots of dippers. Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, apple slices, and strawberries all shine. Variety keeps everyone happy.

Fluffernutter Dip FAQs
Fluffernutter dip is a sweet, no-bake party dip made with just three ingredients: cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, and peanut butter. It is inspired by the classic fluffernutter sandwich and whipped into a light, creamy, scoopable dip that you serve with fruit, cookies, pretzels, and graham crackers.
Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, and animal crackers are classic dippers, and fresh fruit like strawberries, apple slices, and banana coins is delicious too. The mix of sweet, salty, and fruity dippers keeps things interesting and lets everyone build their perfect bite.
Yes. It is a great make-ahead treat. Whip it up, cover it, and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. The texture firms up a little when chilled, so let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the easiest scooping.
Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Because it contains cream cheese, it should not sit out at room temperature for more than about 2 hours at a party. Give it a quick stir before serving leftovers to bring back the creamy texture.
Cream cheese gives the dip its body and balances the sweetness, so it is the best base. For a lighter version, you can use whipped topping instead, though the dip will be softer and sweeter. A cream cheese and whipped topping combination is a nice middle ground.
It works as both. Most people serve it as a sweet dip or dessert with fruit and cookies, but it is also a fun addition to a snack or appetizer spread. Its sweet, nostalgic flavor makes it a hit at parties, game days, and holidays year-round.

Amazing choice for a Superbowl party thank you for sharing with us. Please let us know how the recipe goes over with the crowd.
Bringing this to a Super Bowl party tonight and already snuck a taste… INCREDIBLE!! My husband requested Reese’s pb and it took this dip over the top. I only wish I had bought enough to double the batch!
I don’t like peanut butter in a dip…is their a substitute you can use instead?
I have been making this for years and many variations. I serve it with a fruit tray. You don’t have to use peanut butter, you can do vanilla, lemon,flor de cel, almond, hazelnut spread, ookie butter ( crunching is good ) the possibilities are endless. The key is in the whipping. I use my Kitchen aid, start slow and work up to high. The more you whip it and the fluffier it gets, the better it tastes.
