Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup 0% fat Stonyfield Organic plain yogurt
- 4 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
For Serving
- Strawberries (for serving)
- Graham crackers (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with the 0% fat plain yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Chill the Dip: Refrigerate the dip until ready to serve so it firms up slightly and flavors meld together, usually about 10 minutes or longer if preferred.
- Prepare to Serve: Transfer the chilled mixture to a serving bowl and gently fold in the strawberry preserves to create pretty swirls without fully mixing them in.
- Serve: Serve the dip immediately alongside fresh strawberries and optional graham crackers for dipping, making a delightful sweet snack or appetizer.
Notes
- This dip tastes just like a creamy, sweet-tangy cheesecake in a convenient dip form.
- Serve with fresh fruit like strawberries or graham crackers to complement the flavors.
- For a thicker dip, use full-fat cream cheese instead of 1/3 less fat.
- Letting the dip chill longer enhances the flavors and texture.
