How to store cream cheese fruit dip:In an airtight container in the fridge, cream cheese fruit dip will stay fresh for 4-5 days. However, once fruit actually gets dipped into it, it's best enjoyed immediately. Any new bacteria introduced from the dippers will cause the dip to spoil in a shorter time.
