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
- Fresh strawberries
- Graham crackers (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the base: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese together with the 0% fat yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth.
- Chill the dip: Refrigerate the combined mixture until you are ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.
- Add preserves: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and gently swirl in the strawberry preserves without fully blending them, creating a pretty marbled effect.
- Serve: Present the dip immediately with fresh strawberries and graham crackers on the side for dipping, providing a sweet and tangy treat.
Notes
- This dip tastes just like a creamy, sweet-tangy cheesecake transformed into a fun dip form.
- Pair it with fresh fruit or graham crackers for an easy snack or an elegant party appetizer.
- You can swirl in preserves gently for an attractive look or mix thoroughly for a uniform flavor.
