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!

PinIngredients
- 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.

Marci says
I don’t like fruit…..without this dip! I sometimes eat the dip just from the spoon! Thank you so much!!!
Julie says
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!!
Julie says
Thanks for the tip Annamarie!

Can I use sugar free vanilla cook n serve? Has anyone tried it?
Marla says
It seems like it needs more flavor. I added vanilla flavoring….still seems a little bland.
