Today's recipe is about as simple as you can get. My favorite fruit dip consists of cream cheese and marshmallow fluff and takes about 5 minutes to make.
Soften 8 oz. of cream cheese (either by zapping it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or by letting it sit out for awhile) and mix it with a 7.5 oz. container of marshmallow fluff until smooth. Dip apple slices into it for a tasty snack!
I used marshmallow fluff brand and tested the dip with iodine after it was mixed. Also, not all types of apples are safe for someone trying to stay away from starch; the best kind we've found are Honeycrisp apples.
The iodine test is a really simple and easy way to check if a food is starchy or not. Just put a tiny bit of the food you're testing onto a piece of plastic (we cut plastic cups into small pieces to use as test strips) and put a few drops of iodine on it. If the food turns black, it's starchy. But if the food stays a brownish-red color, it's okay to eat.
