And now I give you the yummiest fruit dip I’ve ever tasted. It’s just the right kind of sweet, creamy, and vanilla-y. Love that strawberries are so plentiful right now, and as if I didn’t enjoy them enough on their own, this fruit dip came along and made me want to eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
You’ll love it too, and it’s so easy to make because it only has three ingredients and you might just have them in your kitchen as we speak. Go ahead and go check if you like… I’ll wait here.
My boys and I love to sit down together with a big plate of fresh strawberries and a bowl of my Vanilla Pudding Fruit Dip and go to town. We also love dipping graham crackers! Then we call it lunch, and head straight to the pool. Sounds about like summer right?
Of course, you can leave the sprinkles off if you want, but adding a few red and blue ones really makes this the perfect thing for a Fourth of July BBQ get together. Sprinkles = Instant Cuteness!
Do yourself a big favor and get yourself some red ripe strawberries and make this dip. And then come back and tell me all about it!
PrintEasy Creamy Vanilla Pudding Fruit Dip
My Easy Creamy Vanilla Pudding Fruit Dip is a must try! Comes together quickly with only three ingredients and so good with fresh strawberries!
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
- Category: Appetizer
- Method: Electric Mixer
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup vanilla pudding mix (cook and serve)
- 1/3 cup milk (I always use whole milk for cooking and baking)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, dry pudding mix, and milk together with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Then whisk together on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate at least an hour. The dip will thicken slightly as it chills.
- Serve with fruit or graham crackers.
Notes
*I did try making this dip with instant vanilla pudding, but it turned out a little too thick. So I recommend using cook and serve dry pudding mix even though you do not cook it.

What a lovely idea Julie! I adore how easy to make this is, yet how delicious it looks! Sprinkles do make everything prettier indeed!
What a fun treat! I love the idea of mixing cream cheese and vanilla pudding for a fruit dip. This sounds absolutely amazing with strawberries.
Thanks Tiffany. I can’t stop eating it!
So pretty and festive! It’s going on my Fourth of July Pinterest board 🙂
Thanks Valerie. Nice of you to share it!
I don’t like fruit…..without this dip! I sometimes eat the dip just from the spoon! Thank you so much!!!
Haha! So glad you like it!
Like a dummy I didn’t read the part that said to use the cook and serve pudding so I had the instant. But I’d like to share in the event that others find themselves in my shoes, it you just add a little more milk at a time until it’s smoother, it wont be too thick. This dip is YUMMY!!
Thanks for the tip Annamarie!
Can I use sugar free vanilla cook n serve? Has anyone tried it?
It seems like it needs more flavor. I added vanilla flavoring….still seems a little bland.
The texture of this Pudding looks so creamy and smooth. I love it. Thank you so much for the recipe.
can you use powdered milk instead of regular milk?
I think I would use Goya cream of coconut instead of the milk to amp up the flavor even more!! Yum!
Tasteless and just a mouthful of powder and grease. YUCK! I did add more powdered sugar and more vanilla, but it still had a weird mouth-feel and barely any taste. Would NEVER make again.
I found that I was a bir bland and not very sweet,mit also had a very heavy mouthfeel. Adding cool whip seemed to help a lot!
I added 3/4 cup powdered sugar & doubled the milk. It wasn’t sweet enough for my preference. *Also, I did use instant pudding. I also made a batch with chocolate pudding & added mini chocolate chips & it was more flavorful than the vanilla!
