Ingredients
Fruit Dip Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup vanilla low-fat or full-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
Foods for Dipping
- Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Grapes
- Other fresh fruit (apple slices, pear slices, melon chunks)
- Graham crackers
- Pretzels
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese: In the bowl of a stand mixer or a medium bowl if using a handheld mixer, place the softened cream cheese. Mix on medium-low speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, which forms the base of your dip.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the vanilla Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup or honey, pure vanilla paste, and a pinch of ground cinnamon to the cream cheese. Mix everything together for about 30 seconds on medium-low speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
- Serve with dippers: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with your choice of berries, grapes, sliced fresh fruits, graham crackers, or pretzels for dipping.
- Storage: Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir the dip again before serving to restore its creamy texture.
Notes
- You can use either low-fat or full-fat Greek yogurt depending on your preference for richness.
- Maple syrup and honey can be substituted for sweetness; adjust quantity to taste.
- Try adding a bit of lemon zest or a dash of nutmeg for a flavor twist.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
- This dip pairs well with a wide variety of fresh fruit, crackers, and crunchy snacks.
