- 5 ounces (142 grams) diced roasted Hatch peppers
Vegetable and Spice Ingredients:
- 2 jalapeño peppers, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) cayenne pepper

Thickening and Seasoning Ingredients:

Instructions
- Gently warm the marshmallow creme in a microwave-safe bowl for 10 seconds, being careful not to overheat and cause liquefaction.
- Prepare a separate medium-sized mixing bowl and add cool whipped topping, warmed marshmallow creme, and strawberry cream cheese.
- Using an electric mixer, blend the ingredients on medium speed until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency with no visible lumps.
- Select an attractive serving dish or clean storage container to transfer the whipped dip.
- Smooth the surface of the dip with a spatula to create an even texture.
- Place the prepared strawberry cloud dip in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for a minimum of 60 minutes (1 hour) to enhance flavor melding and achieve optimal serving temperature.
- For maximum convenience, this dessert can be prepared in advance – up to 24 hours before your event – and will maintain its fresh, creamy texture when stored properly in the refrigerator.
- Before serving, give the dip a gentle stir to redistribute any settled ingredients and ensure a consistent, light texture.
Notes
- Softens marshmallow creme gently to prevent burning or losing its fluffy texture.
- Mixing at low speed helps maintain the cloud-like consistency without deflating the whipped topping.
- Chilling allows flavors to meld and creates a firmer, more scoopable dip perfect for parties.
- Cream cheese adds rich tanginess that balances the sweetness of marshmallow and strawberry.
- Storage tip: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to three days, ideal for make-ahead dessert lovers.
