    Chase away dreary days with this sweet and creamy piña colada fruit dip. Add it to a dessert board with fresh pineapple, fresh strawberries, and thin & crispy gingersnap cookies for dunking.

    A ruffled bowl of pina colada dip has shredded coconut on top and is surrounded by fresh strawberries, pineapple, and gingersnap cookies.

    If I say: "Tropical Getaway," do you suddenly have visions of a reclining chair with a bright-colored umbrella and a cabana boy bringing you piña coladas by the pool?

    No, just me then?

    Back when Tim and I could actually get away on real vacations to fancy tropical places, a piña colada was most definitely my drink of choice for lounging with a good book in the sunshine.

    It's been far too long since we had a vacation like that, but there's no reason to not channel that feeling right here at home every once in a while, right?

    This super-easy piña colada fruit dip has just 4 ingredients and is one of the most perfect make-ahead appetizers for any party you're hosting. Simply blend everything together with a mixer and let it chill in the fridge till it is time to serve.

    Ingredients

    This deliciously sweet and creamy fruit dip is perfect because it has just 4 ingredients!

    • Cream cheese
    • Marshmallow fluff
    • Crushed pineapple
    • Shredded coconut

    Make Ahead and Serving Tips

    Make the fruit dip ahead of time:
    The texture of the fruit dip is at its best when it has had a chance to firm up in the fridge. Make this dip at least 3 hours before you plan to serve it, the day before is even better.

    Top the dip with extra coconut:
    For a pretty presentation, top the dip with additional coconut that you sprinkle on just before serving. For extra visual appeal, consider gently toasting the shredded coconut by baking it on a cookie sheet at 325°F for 5 minutes.

    Serve with fresh fruit:
    Cut some fresh chunks of pineapple and bright, juicy strawberries for dunking in your fruit dip. You could also add grapes or freshly peeled clementines to the platter if desired.

    Include a spicy cookie on the platter:
    Super-thin and crisp gingersnap cookies make a delicious pair with the sweet and creamy piña colada flavors. If you can't find them in the store, consider baking your own cookie dunkers with our favorite gingerbread cookie recipe here. The texture of the gingerbread cookie would be hearty enough to hold up to all your dunking needs.

    Events to Serve It For

    I originally made a batch of this piña colada dip for the Peanut's Pirate-themed birthday party. We went with all tropical-themed party treats for the menu and it was a huge hit with the adults that came.

    Your guests would also love it at any of these special occasions:

    • Book club meetings
    • A summer BBQ party
    • Last day of school party for the neighborhood
    • Baby showers
    • Wedding showers
    • Engagement parties

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese softened
    • 1 container of marshamallow creme
    • 8 oz. can of crushed pineapple drained
    • ½ cup shredded coconut plus more for garnishing

    Instructions

    • Add the cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat it on medium-high until smooth.
    • Scrape the bowl with a spatula. Add the marshmallow creme (fluff) to the bowl and combine it with the cream cheese with the mixer on medium low.
    • Scrape the sides of the bowl and the beater blades. Add the drained pineapple and coconut to the bowl and gently fold it into the creamy mixture.
    • Pour the dip into a serving bowl and chill for 3 hours or overnight. Be sure to cover it tightly.
    • Garnish with additional coconut on top before serving alongside fresh fruit and gingersnap or gingerbread cookies.

    Recipe Notes

    Toasted coconut:
    For a pretty garnish, you can toast additional coconut. Spread the coconut on a cookie sheet in a thin single layer. Bake it in the oven at 325 degrees for 5 minutes or until just toasted. Be careful, it will burn quickly.
