Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 225 g cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
For Serving
- Fresh fruit (such as strawberries, apples, grapes, melon)
Instructions
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature until softened, which will make mixing easier and result in a smoother dip.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and cinnamon if using.
- Mix Until Smooth: Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
- Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Sample the dip and add additional honey if a sweeter flavor is desired. Mix again briefly to incorporate any added honey.
- Chill the Dip: Transfer the cream cheese fruit dip into a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
- Serve with Fruit: Present the chilled dip alongside an assortment of fresh fruits for dipping and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a lighter dip, use reduced-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
- Add orange or lemon zest for extra citrus flavor.
- A little whipped cream can be folded in for a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
