In this party-ready pina colada fruit dip, crushed pineapple and sweetened coconut turn a simple cream cheese dip into a scoopable, sunshine-filled treat.

Pina colada fruit dip tastes like a vacation in a bowl. It’s creamy, tangy and just sweet enough to keep you going back for another swipe. Softened cream cheese gives it structure, while a swirl of marshmallow creme adds a fluffy, almost mousse-like lift. Crushed pineapple folds in bright, tropical acidity, and the coconut brings chewy texture and a toasty-sugar aroma that hits the nose before the spoon even reaches your mouth.

Chilled until thick and spreadable, this pina colada fruit dip clings beautifully to whatever you dunk in it: juicy chunks of mango, crisp apple slices, wedges of toasted pound cake. It’s quick to make and even quicker to enjoy, especially when it’s served as part of a snack board or dessert platter. Keep the ingredients on hand, and you’ll always be about five minutes away from starting the party.
