Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Fruit Selection

  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup grapes, halved if large
  • 1 cup apple slices

Dip Ingredients

  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon milk or additional yogurt (to thin dip if needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Fruit: Wash and dry your selected fruit thoroughly. Cut larger fruits into bite-sized pieces for easy dipping and arrange them on a serving dish to showcase vibrant colors.
  2. Mix the Dip Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Adjust Sweetness and Consistency: Taste your dip and add more sweetener or lemon juice if needed. If the dip feels too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or yogurt to thin it slightly and blend again.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the dip to a pretty bowl, place it among your fruit platter, and watch everyone dive in. Fresh fruit dipped in creamy goodness has never been easier!

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese beforehand for a smoother mixing process.
  • Use seasonal fruits to maximize flavor and freshness.
  • Let the natural sweetness of fruit shine; add sweetener sparingly.
  • Pat fruit dry to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
  • Refrigerate the dip for 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavors and texture.
