Mascarpone Fruit Dip is an easy dip that can be whipped up in just 5 minutes! So creamy and makes a wonderful addition to a fruit platter or filling for crepes.

Mascarpone fruit dip was inspired by my chantilly cupcake frosting. After frosting the cupcakes, I had some frosting leftover. I used the leftover frosting to dip various fruit into. It made an amazing fruit dip. So the idea for this fruit dip recipe emerged.
